Work Abstract
Knights Vow is a platform title created using Box2D physics engine in corporation with C++ SDL coding framework. It was coded from the ground up by a team of two people over a span of 80 hours of work. Game is complete with pathfinding, UI elements, game load & save, as well as NPC behavior patterns. The game was created as a way to both create a fun, intuitive, and clean game, while also practically applying coding principles that we learned in our Game Development course at CITM UPC.
Experience Gained
Pathfinding Algorithms
Box 2D Physics
The project was created where enemies would navigate over a tile system in the closest possible route to the player. This meant incorporating the best fitting algorithm for movement. For this project the Dijkstra algorithm was utilized.
Usage of Box2D collision system in-game. Had to learn to apply colliders, manage colliders, and make sure physics system was solid. Additionally, incorporated logic system for debug, which enabled visual colliders.
