velocirunner

Velocirunner is a fast-paced 2D platformer for Windows. Players take control of two velociraptors as they race across the land searching for meat, and trying to make sure the other player loses theirs.

Along the way, players will gain power ups that affect everything from the other player, to the screen! There's also a giant t-rex that will try to stop you on your way to the finish.

Are you strong enough to survive?

about the project

This is the freshman year game project for the second semester. We had about 6 months to design and program a game with only a few restrictions. The game had to take place entirely in the Windows Command Prompt, and it had to be coded in C. Tools and anything else we wanted to make to aid in development could be written in whatever language we wanted, and didn't have to use the console.

  • Input subsystem
  • Base game engine
  • Game menus programmer
  • Tools

Job: Technical Director / Technical Lead
In charge of writing the base engine for the game, and making sure that everyone on the team conforms to standards. They should be aware of how all of the code works together inside the project, even if they weren't the ones who wrote it.
