A C++ project that simulates battles between Earth's defenses and alien armies, using data structures to analyze power dynamics and generate strategic battle statistics. This project demonstrates my ability to design and implement simulation logic and perform data-driven analysis using low-level programming techniques.
This project was originally developed as part of a team effort during my studies at Cairo University. In this repository, I have recreated my individual contributions to showcase my work:
- Designed the simulation logic using data structures (e.g., linked lists, arrays) to model battle dynamics between Earth’s defenses and alien forces.
- Implemented statistical analysis to generate strategic insights, such as power dynamics and battle outcomes.
- Language: C++
- Concepts: Data Structures (linked lists, arrays, etc.), Object-Oriented Programming (OOP)
To build and run this project, you’ll need:
- A C++ compiler (e.g.,
g++via GCC on Linux, MinGW on Windows, or WSL). - Git to clone the repository.
Follow these steps to set up and run the Alien Invasion Simulator:
-
Clone the Repository:
git clone https://github.com/KarimZakzouk/Alien-Invasion-Simulator.git
-
Navigate to the Directory:
cd Alien-Invasion-Simulator -
Run the Program:
./AlienInvasion
-
Starting the Program: Upon execution, the program will prompt you to enter the name of the input file located within the
Inputsdirectory. Please provide the filename in the.txtformat. For example, if your input file is namedbattle_data.txt, simply enterbattle_datawhen prompted, and the program will automatically append the.txtextension.Please review the project document for more information.
- Team Context: This project was originally a collaborative effort with my teammates, who hosted the initial version. This repository contains my personal implementation of my contributions.
