Monoshot

A simple top-down 2D shooter game written in C++ and OpenGL 4.5.

Mono Engine

Currently there is an effort to separate the engine source code from the game itself to improve flexibility for future possible projects.

Gameplay

At the current stage of full refactor, the game does not offer any gameplay (not like it ever did). But there are plans to create completely destructible tile-based maps and dynamic environment.

Building

The project supports building with CMake as it allows cross-platform development and is relatively easy to use:

# clone the repository
cd monoshot
git submodule update --init
mkdir build && cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -G "<GENERATOR>" ..

Replace <GENERATOR> with your favourite build generator. Recommended choices are listed below:

• Ninja,
• Unix Makefiles,
• MinGW Makefiles.

On Windows, there is a possibility that it will even work with Visual Studio generated .sln file, however this option has never been properly tested or supported.

After the configuration is complete, build the code with:

cmake --build .

Monoshot requires C++20 capable compiler such as GCC 13+ or Clang 14+ (preferably supporting <format> library).
