Reimplementation of Adventure of Lolo using C++

Adventure of Lolo is a puzzle video game released in 1989. In the course Introduction to C++, I need to reproduce a video game with the same gameplay. This one-month project aims at practising C++. In this project, I used the sprite of my favorite bomberman game in Childhood as texture. You can find the source code here.

Structure

I used SFML as the framework, which provides basic interface for developing multimedia app. Before programming, I designed the structure carefully so as to use the advantage of object-oriented programming.

Problematic

Collision

One of the difficulty comes from the collision, especially that between the movable box with other objects. To solve it, I used a ghost which is a bit smaller than its form. The ghost will move firstly and return the info whether it can move or not.

    // The concept of shape and real is important
    // to do the collision detection in game.
    // Each element will have two rectangle shape representing
    // the real part(invisible, a bit smaller and the visible part.
    /*
            -----------------
            -      shape    -
            -               -
            -    ********   -
            -    * real *   -
            -    *      *   -
            -    ********   -
            -----------------

     */

By the way, I used this method to do collision detection.
