SDL2 Gunner

== SDL2 Gunner ==

A 2D run-and-gun game written in SDL2. This game was created as part of the SDL2 game tutorial series from Parallel Realities.

The goal of the game is to make your way around the map and destroy all the enemy oil drums.

== How to play ==

A: Move left

D: Move right

W: Aim up / diagonal while running

S: Duck

J: Shoot

I: Jump

Escape: Pause

Navigate the map, shooting oil drums and enemies as you find them. Collect power-ups by destroying red and grey drones. The player has 5 health points and 3 lives. If you lose all your lives, the game will start over.

Red, green, and blue doors require red, green, and blue keycards.

== Menus ==

Use the arrow keys to navigate and change options. Use the left and right arrow keys to change volumes. When redefining keys, highlight the control to change, press Space or Return, then the key you wish to use. You can also use a joystick / game controller. This must be plugged in before starting the game or it won't be detected. When changing a control, press the joystick button you wish to use. Pressing Escape will cancel the change, while Backspace will clear it.

== Other ==

Game configuration (volumes, controls, highscores, etc.) are saved to a file called save.json, in the same directory as the game.
