🪄 Everything small is just a smaller version of something big
The fifth project at 42 programming school. It's the first graphical project in the Cursus , we can choose between 3 options - FdF, Fractol and so_long - that in general cover different areas, but all 3 are graphical projects. The so_long consists of a top-down game, which we code from scratch using the MiniLibx graphical library. It involves a series of validations from the map that is passed as argument, checks to prevent memoy leaks, the game engineering, managing windows, events, sprites and maps.
Each function must be maximum 25 lines, not counting the function's own curly brackets.
Each line must be at most 80 columns wide, comments included.
A function can take 4 named parameters maximum.
You can't declare more than 5 variables per function.
You're not allowed to use: for , do...while , switch , case , goto ,
ternary operators such as `?' and VLAs - Variable Length Arrays.
The norminette (as we call the norm at 42) is in python and open source.
Its repository is available at https://github.com/42School/norminette.
You'll be able to play once you install the MiniLibx features or if you're using one of the machines at 42.
To play, first compile the project with make:
make
In case you wanna play the bonus version:
make bonus
So, run ./so_long followed by the map:
./so_long assets/maps/valid/map2.ber
For bonus:
./so_long_bonus assets/maps/valid/bonus/map5.ber
The map must be a .ber file.
And can only contain these characters:
| CHAR | OBJECT |
|---|---|
| 1 | Wall |
| C | Coin |
| E | Exit |
| P | Player |
| 0 | Floor |
For bonus there's an extra character - which makes you lose once touch it.
| CHAR | OBJECT |
|---|---|
| T | Toxic River |
The map must be rectangular and surrounded by walls '1'.
The map must contain at least one exit, one collectible, and one starting position.
Check some examples in the folder /assets/maps.
As in assets/maps/valid/map2.ber:
| KEY | OBJECT |
|---|---|
| W or ⬆️ | Move up |
| A or ⬅️ | Move left |
| S or ⬇️ | Move down |
| D or ➡️ | Move para right |
| Q or Esc | Close the game |
Use WASD or arrow keys to move.
After getting all the coin bags, the exit opens and you can escape downstairs.
You can close the game by Clicking on the red cross on the window’s frame, or pressing Q or Esc.
To test the game itself it's recommendable to run it with some different maps and try things like:
Running into a wall and see if you're blocked or if the movements counter increase while you're stucked.
Go to the exit withou collecting all the coins.
Go through the same path at least one time.
Try to move with the arrow keys and with WASD.
Check if the window closes when clicking the red cross on window's frame, same with Esc or Q.
Try to minimize the window and open it again.
Run the project with Valgrind to see if there's any memory leak.
To test some map validations as No map, missing argv, multiple argv, invalid extension, map with an empty line, invalid map parameter missing W parameter, missing C parameter, missing E parameter, missing P parameter, extra P parameter I created my own Tester.
To test the code in this repo Clone this repo and cd into it:
git clone https://github.com/augustobecker/so_long
cd so_long/
Now, clone the Tester
git clone https://github.com/augustobecker/so_long_tester
Go into the test folder and run with make:
cd so_long_tester
make
If you did everything correctly you should see something like this
42 is a global education initiative that proposes a new way of learning technology: no teachers, no classrooms, students learning from their fellow students (peer to peer learning), with a methodology that develops both computing and life skills. Not to mention that it's completely free of charge and open to all with no prerequisites.
Admissions at 42 are unlike other colleges. We use a merit-based admission process. The final step of the admission is the Piscine - This is part of the admissions process and requires 4 weeks of intensive and immersive coding. No prior coding experience is necessary at all.
You can check more about the admission process on the 42sp website: https://www.42sp.org.br or on my github repository: 42 Piscine
