First Year at Uni offered the first opportunity to explore with “Game Engines”. The learner wheels provided were a pair of light-weight C++, SDL based engines. One of these (GFC, by Dr Jarek Francik) can be considered the inspiration for the Max Canvas project. Three separate game submissions were made, namely Tetris (2D), Pool(2D) and Heli-Gunnar (3D).
Tetris
Classic Tetris clone with a 2 player mode. Developed in C++, using a Kingston University SDL based engine (GFC).
Pool
Also developed in C++ with GFC.
Video switches to “debug” mode half way through.
Heli-Gunnar
Simple helicopter shooter, developed in C++, but this time introducing 3D.
