As a part of my Object Oriented Programming in C++ course I implemented - in team of two - a custom version of popular Angry Birds game. The game features two modes:

• adventure - a campaign consisting of 14 levels with increasing difficulty
• custom - a mode in which the player can play self-created levels. There are 5 slots available for saved levels.

Sample gameplay is shown in the video below:

Implementation and Technologies Used

#

Four libraries were used in the game::

• box2d - physics engine
• SFML - 2D graphics rendering
• catch2 - unit testing framework
• nlohmann/json - JSON parsing library

The entire game was programmed in C++ using the C++20 standard and is based on a finite state machine architecture. Memory management relies on smart pointers, effectively eliminating the risk of memory leaks (verified through testing with valgrind). The code makes extensive use of STL containers, and object creation mechanisms are built using the factory design pattern with templates, enabling type-safe and generic instantiation of game entities.
