In the first quarter of the first year at my university, I was assigned to use
the OpenGL library to create a 2D Platformer in C++.
To keep this 2D platformer unique, I took inspiration from Nintendo’s Super
Mario Galaxy, to implement walkable planets with their own gravity in the
scene.
The playable character can walk around small planets and use the gravitational fields to take alternate paths.
This project inspired me to start developing a 2D Platformer Game Engine, that expands the different uses of this gravity mechanic and will provide the user with tools to build a 2D platformer with ease.
