A simple Old Arcade Paddle and Ball game (Breakout I guess) in sdl, reutilized existed object models as well as alogorithms for ball moving and object collision.
I tried sticking to a game, renderer, controller model but it was simpler for me in the end to just relegate the graphic of each object, to its own file with game.cpp acting as a controller also.
some examples of my code following the rubric:
- Loops, Functions, I/O
The project demonstrates an understanding of C++ functions and control structures. file game.cpp - use of multiple switch case, and nested condition to process mouse control and object interaction.
The project accepts user input and processes the input. using the sdl library, sdl image, sdl ttf
- Object Oriented Programming
The project uses Object Oriented Programming techniques. Can be seen in each file except main.cpp
Classes use appropriate access specifiers for class members. Classes encapsulate behavior. Classes abstract implementation details from their interfaces. can be seen in BaseObject.h
- Memory Management
The project uses destructors appropriately. Can be seen in each file except main.cpp. After creating object pointer of a class, the delete called right after that.
