C++ Features Used

The Coin Collector game project utilizes several modern C++ features, including:

1. Move Semantics: Efficiently transfers ownership of resources using move constructors and assignment operators in the GameRunner class.

2. RAII: RAII stands for Resource Acquisition Is Initialization, it manages resources by ensuring proper initialization and cleanup in the GameRunner class.

3. Templates: Creates a generic GameRunner class templated on the type of game board elements for flexibility and reusability.

4. Concurrency: Handles the game loop and user input simultaneously using separate threads (std::jthread).

5. Lambdas: Uses lambda expressions for concise and inline functionality, such as filtering game board positions.

6. std::barrier: Coordinates the execution of game loop and input processing threads to ensure synchronization.

7. std::format: Provides type-safe string formatting for output messages.

8. std::ranges: Performs operations on ranges of elements, aiding in the placement of game objects.

Requirements

• C++20 compiler
• CMake 3.12 or higher

How to Play

• Use the W, A, S, D keys to move the player up, left, down, and right, respectively.
• Collect coins to increase your score and progress to the next level.
• Avoid touching the fires, as they will decrease your HP.
• Collect healing items (H) to restore your HP.
• Press 'q' to quit the game at any time.
• Press 'r' to restart the game at any time.

Code Structure

The project is organized into the following files:

• GameRunner.h: Header file containing the declaration of the GameRunner class.
• GameRunner.cpp: Implementation file for the GameRunner class, containing the game logic and mechanics.
• main.cpp: Entry point of the program, creates an instance of GameRunner and starts the game.
• CMakeLists.txt: CMake configuration file for building the project.

Dependencies

The project relies on the following C++ features and libraries:

• C++20 standard library
• <thread> for multi-threading support
• <chrono> for time-related functionality
• <format> for string formatting (C++20 feature)
• <barrier> for thread synchronization (C++20 feature)
• <ranges> for range-based operations (C++20 feature)
