so_long

This repository contains the project "so_long" from the 42 Cursus. The project involves creating a simple 2D game using the MiniLibX library. Below is an overview of the contents of this folder:

Contents

• assets/: Contains the game images and maps in .ber and .XPM format.
• includes/: Contains the header file.
• libft/: My tiny library of C functions.
• Makefile: The Makefile to compile the project.
• README.md: This file, providing an overview of the project.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding any of the contents bellow. Here are some prerequisites with your running platform.

You should have at least:

• A Linux OS with X11
• Build-essential

If you do not have X11 support, then use this command in order to install:

sudo apt-get install libx11-dev libxext-dev libbsd-dev libxrender-dev libxrandr-dev

Do the same if there isn't build-essentials:

sudo apt-get install build-essential

Getting Started

To get started with the project you can clone the repository .

git clone https://github.com/shexweeknd/42-cursurs-so_long.git
cd 42-cursus-so_long/

Now time to import the MinilibX library:

curl -LO https://github.com/shexweeknd/blob/raw/main/42-cursus-so_long/minilibx-linux.tgz && \

tar -xzvf minilibx-linux.tgz && \

rm -rf minilibx-linux.tgz

You can now compile the game or code (whatever) using the provided Makefile.

make

Usage

After compiling, you can run the game using the following command:

./so_long [map_file]

Replace [map_file] with the path to a valid map file. Here is an example:

Project Goals

• Learn to use the MiniLibX library.
• Understand basic 2D game development concepts like Tilesets and Sprites.
• Improve C programming skills.
