Mechanics

When you start the program, you can either start new game or continue. You can pause the game by pressing ESC key

• Starting a new game will take you to menu where you have to select the difficulty.
  • Easy: multiplies enemy stats by 1.05 per cleared level
  • Medium: multiplies enemy stats by 1.1 per cleared level
  • Hard: multiplies enemy stats by 1.15 per cleared level
• Continuing will load data from assets/save.json
  • You can only have 1 active save so use it wisely

There are currently 3 different units that you can summon

• Warrior
• Tank
• Mage

Each unit has different stats which you can modify by changing "summons" object in assets/objects.json file
You can also add custom units by modifying that object

Currency

• With each second you get 2 Fujika
  • You can spend Fujika by summoning units.
• When you reach Fujika limit of 20 you start gaining 1 Fuko every second.
  • You can spend Fuko on equipement in Shop menu after you pass a level.

Equipement

• You can add or modify equipement in assets/objects.json file by modifying "items" object
• Each piece of Equipement has predefined cost
• The Equipement can be bought only when it doesn't decrease one of the stats of the unit to a value lower than 1
• Buying the Equipement doesn't change its cost

Enemy

• Enemy has starting stats which can be edited in assets/objects.json
• With each level enemy stats are multiplied
  • The stats are rounded down to integer
• Enemy info label doesn't update, so the only way to guess current health is to see how fast it moves
  • The lower the health, the lower the movement speed, capped at 6
• Hits everyone within range
  • Only starts hitting when directly next to at least one entity
    • Doesn't stop hitting until every entity within range is dead

• SDL2 ttf - tested with 2.20.2
• Rapidjson - tested with 1.1.0

copy dll files into /build folder

example for g++ for debug

g++ -ggdb -g3 ./src/*.cpp ./src/Managers/*.cpp ./src/Objects/*.cpp ./src/UserInterface/*.cpp ./src/UserInterface/Components/*.cpp ./src/UserInterface/Menus/*.cpp -o ./build/game.exe -I"./include" -L"./lib" -lSDL2 -lSDL2_image -lSDL2_ttf --std=c++14
