I have a computer science project due in about two months.
I want to do a simple space game.
features:
- A main menu
- a single space ship which shoots missiles and moves vertically
- a balls which moves horizontally towards to the pace ship which gets
destroyed when hit by the missiles
- timer
i have very little c++ programming experience.
-Can anyone help me and guide me with this project.
-How much work do you think this would take and how much time?
Use SFML library: http://www.sfml-dev.org/
It is very good when it comes to 2D games. It has good tutorials and documentation too.
Do not make a mistake trying to do everything manually. You will just get lost in code and waste your time.
-How much work do you think this would take and how much time?
48 hours — 1 month depending on your skill and involvement.
