voidstar game engine with the game voidbomb first

VoidStar game engine with the game VoidBomb. First year project in Game Programming at BTH by me, voxar, sterd and mangeh. Conversation with Per brought it up, and I just had to make it compile again :)

The objective of the game is to drop bombs to blow up the ground (modifiable heightmap!) to find the flag.

What’s interesting about this project is that it’s the origin for my favorite game engine design, and the same designed used in Deathtroid. There is only one Entity class, so instead of using inheritance to create different kinds of entities, one builds an Entity from Elements, one for each sub-engine. For example, to create the avatar in Deathtroid, we initialize an Entity with a ForceBasedPhysics element for the physics slot, an AvatarBehavior bound to the correct Player for the logics slot, and StateAnimatedSprite for the view slot.
