My first game project using C++ and the S2D library, supplied by Staffordshire university.
The controls for this game are ‘W’, ‘A’, ‘S’ and ‘D’ for up, left, right and down respectively. In addition to that you can press ‘Left Shift’ to dash. Space starts the game and ‘P’ pauses the game.
Being tasked on making a game like Pacman, I chose to keep the gameplay at it's base similar. However, to create a competitive element and therefore making it somewhat replayable I made it a speedrun based game.
I made dashes that give you a burst of speed but made it proportional to how many dashes you have banked allowing stratergies to form.
