MuseumOfMysteries

My (WIP) game for the Breda University Intake assignment.

See my devlog for progress updates.

I used some free assets for this game, find any neccessary credits in the credits file.

You are free to check out my source code and use it as a learning resource, just note I won't be taking contributions for now.

TODO List

• [ ] Cross-Platform support
  • [x] Visual Studio Solution
  • [ ] *nix CMakeLists.txt
  • [x] Bundle all dependencies as a submodule
  • [ ] Automated build scripts
• [ ] Audio
  • [ ] Multi-Channel audio support
  • [ ] Volume controls
  • [ ] Basic positional audio(?)
  • [ ] Audio streaming
• [ ] Rendering Pipeline
  • [ ] Sprite/Surface layers (using multiple SDL textures for layering)
  • [ ] Texture atlas loading (to optimize performance and memory use)
  • [ ] Basic effects (e.g., grayscale, tinting, blending) using texture blending modes
  • [x] Animation support (e.g., sprite sheets or frame-based animation)
  • [ ] Parallax scrolling for multi-layer backgrounds
  • [ ] Frame rate cap or V-Sync
• [ ] UI System (maybe dearimgui?)
  • [ ] Text rendering (using SDL_ttf for font support)
  • [ ] Buttons (with hover and click effects, e.g., changing texture color or opacity)
  • [ ] Sliders and input fields (for settings like volume)
  • [ ] HUD display and (basic) inventory management
  • [ ] Dialog boxes or notifications
• [ ] Gameplay Systems
  • [ ] ECS(?)
  • [ ] Physics and collision handling (using SDL_Rect for bounding box collisions)
  • [ ] Input mapping and configuration (supporting keyboard, mouse, and controller)
  • [ ] State management (for switching between game states like menu, play, and pause)
• [ ] Save/Load System
  • [ ] Basic save/load game functionality
  • [ ] Settings save/load (e.g., for volume)
  • [ ] JSON or XML serialization for game data
• [ ] Debugging Tools
  • [ ] Frame rate counter (could be rendered as a simple text overlay)
  • [ ] In-game debugging console(?) (for logging gameplay events or errors)
  • [ ] Logging system for gameplay events or errors
• [ ] Optimizations
  • [ ] Efficient memory management (for loading/unloading textures and audio assets as needed)
  • [ ] Texture atlas utilization (to reduce SDL texture binds and optimize rendering)
  • [ ] Batch rendering techniques (minimizing SDL_RenderPresent calls)
  • [ ] Asynchronous asset loading (loading textures/audio in background threads where feasible)
