Platformer with Stacks and Queues

Platformer with Stacks and Queues

This game was developed as part of a university assignment for Programming for Videogames I.

The main goal: create a 2D platformer where enemies are controlled by stack and queue data structures.

🕹️ Gameplay

• Control a character that climbs through 6 floors filled with enemies.

• Only one enemy moves at a time per floor.

• The character can jump up, but not return to previous floors.

• Reach the exit door at the top floor before time runs out.

⏱️ Win / Lose conditions

✅ Win: reach the door before the timer ends.
❌ Lose: time runs out before you reach the door.

📦 Stacks & Queues Implementation

• 3 floors use queues: enemies cycle forward, with the first enemy moving and then going to the end of the queue.

• 3 floors use two stacks (A & B): enemies are moved between the stacks to control their appearance.

🎮 Controls

• A / D: move left / right

• W or Space: jump

• Shift + A / Shift + D: run
