Space Kittens from Outer Space

Games Programming University Project

As part of my Games Programming module that I took in my first year at Abertay University, I created a 2D platformer using SFML. For this project I focused on animating characters, learning how to use tilemaps, creating managers for bullets to control the number of instances for them in a scene, UI and a short introductory cutscene. I also created all of the character animations in the game using Photoshop.

In the future, I would like to improve upon this project by rebuilding it in Unity and creating more levels through procedural generation. I would also like to include a level map as well as more abilities for the player to use after fixing some bugs from the original game.
