A classic 2D car racing game made using C++ and SFML. Control your car, avoid obstacles, and see how long you can survive on the road!
This is a beginner-friendly racing game project that uses the SFML (Simple and Fast Multimedia Library) to render graphics and manage input. You steer a car down a highway, dodging randomly generated traffic. It's great for learning about game loops, rendering, collision detection, and event handling in C++.
To build and run this project, you’ll need:
- A C++ Compiler (like
g++
) - SFML (Graphics, Window, System modules)
Make sure SFML is correctly installed and linked on your system.
g++ racing.cpp -lsfml-graphics -lsfml-window -lsfml-system
▶️ Run
bash
Copy
Edit
./a.out
🧹 Clean
bash
rm -f a.out
##✨ Features Smooth car movement using keyboard input
Enemy cars with randomized positions
Collision detection
##🚧 Planned Improvements Add a scoring system and display
Game over screen with retry option
Background music and sound effects
Speed increase over time for difficulty
