This project is a very small 2D game made for 42 coding school

It’s time for you to create a basic computer graphics project!

You are going to use the school graphical library: the MiniLibX! This library was developed internally and includes basic necessary tools to open a window, create images and deal with keyboard and mouse events.

Program: name so_long

Turn in files: Makefile, *.h, *.c, maps, textures

Makefile: NAME, all, clean, fclean, re

Arguments: A map in format *.ber

External functs:

• open, close, read, write, malloc, free, perror, strerror, exit
• All functions of the math library (-lm compiler option, strerror, exit man man 3 math)
• All functions of the MiniLibX
• ft_printf and any equivalent YOU coded

Libft authorized: Yes

Description: You must create a basic 2D game in which a dolphin escapes Earth after eating some fish. Instead of a dolphin, fish, and the Earth, you can use any character, any collectible and any place you want.

Your project must comply with the following rules:

• You must use the MiniLibX. Either the version available on the school machines, or installing it using its sources.
• You have to turn in a Makefile which will compile your source files. It must not relink.
• Your program has to take as parameter a map description file ending with the .ber extension.

• The player’s goal is to collect every collectible present on the map, then escape chosing the shortest possible route.
• The W, A, S, and D keys must be used to move the main character. (If you prefer, you can use ZQSD or the arrow keys on your keyboard to move your main character.)
• The player should be able to move in these 4 directions: up, down, left, right.
• The player should not be able to move into walls.
• At every move, the current number of movements must be displayed in the shell.
• You have to use a 2D view (top-down or profile).
• The game doesn’t have to be real time.

• Your program has to display the image in a window.
• The management of your window must remain smooth (changing to another window, minimizing, and so forth).
• Pressing ESC must close the window and quit the program in a clean way.
• Clicking on the cross on the window’s frame must close the window and quit the program in a clean way.
• The use of the images of the MiniLibX is mandatory.

• The map has to be constructed with 3 components: walls, collectibles, and free space.
• The map can be composed of only these 5 characters:

  • 0 for an empty space,

  • 1 for a wall,

  • C for a collectible,

  • E for a map exit,

  • P for the player’s starting position.

Here is a simple valid map:

1111111111111
10010000000C1
1000011111001
1P0011E000001
1111111111111

• The map must contain 1 exit, at least 1 collectible, and 1 starting position to be valid.
• If the map contains a duplicates characters (exit/start), you should display an error message.
• The map must be rectangular.
• The map must be closed/surrounded by walls. If it’s not, the program must return an error.
• You have to check if there’s a valid path in the map.
• You must be able to parse any kind of map, as long as it respects the above rules.
• Another example of a minimal .ber map:

1111111111111111111111111111111111
1E0000000000000C00000C000000000001
1010010100100000101001000000010101
1010010010101010001001000000010101
1P0000000C00C0000000000000000000C1
1111111111111111111111111111111111

• If any misconfiguration of any kind is encountered in the file, the program must exit in a clean way, and return "Error\n" followed by an explicit error message of your choice.

• Compilation wihout re-link
• Executable name is so_long

• Use different maps
• Test with different line sizes
• Program returns an error and exits properly when the configuration file is misconfigured (unknown key, double key, invalid path etc)

If not defense is over.

Check that the level is a valid represntation of the map used as parameter.

• A window must open at the launch of the program. It must stay open during whole execution
• Hide all or part of the window either by using another window or by using the screen's borders, then minimize the windows and maximize it back. In all cases the content of the window must remain consistent.

Execute the following 3 tests. If at least one fails, no points will be awarded for this section. Move on to the next one.

• Click the red cross at the top left of the window. THe window must close and the program must exit cleanly.
• Press ESC key. The window must close and the program must exit cleanly. (Another key can exit the program too, like Q)
• Press the four arrow keys in the order of your liking.

Execute the 5 following tests. If at least one fails, no points will be awrded for this section.

• The player's spawning position must be in accordance with the map file.
• Press the arrow keys to move in every direction on the map
• Is the game "playable"?

Execute the following tests, if at least one fails...

• The wall's texture is well placed and the player can not go through it.
• The collectible's texture is well placed and the player can pick it by walking on it.
• The Exit texture is well placed and the player can finish the game by walking on it but only after picking every collectible.
• The player texture is well placed and can move in every direction except into the walls.

• There is a small counter displayed on the shell that counts how many movements the player did.

• The program use mlx_put_image_to_window and not mlx put pixel
