🎮 GameHub

GameHub is a lightweight C++ game collection project designed to host multiple classic games such as Tic-Tac-Toe and Hangman under a single hub.
It is built entirely in C++ and uses CMake for cross-platform builds.

📦 Features

• Modular design with a GameFactory to easily add new games
• Currently includes:
  • Tic-Tac-Toe
  • Hangman
• Lightweight, console-based interface
• Cross-platform (Windows, Linux, macOS)

🏗️ Architecture

The GameHub project follows a modular and extensible architecture:

• GameHub (core manager):
  The main application manager that orchestrates available games and handles user interaction.

• GameService (abstract game interface):
  Defines the functions that all games must implement. Each game service inherits from this class to provide its own game logic.

• GameFactory (abstract factory class):
  Responsible for creating game instances. Each game has a concrete factory to produce its corresponding GameService.

• Concrete Game Services:
  Each game encapsulates its own rules, logic, and state. These are returned by their respective factories and managed by GameHub.

This architecture makes it simple to extend GameHub:
➡️ Create a new game service → Add a concrete factory for it → Register it in GameHub’s game directory.

📦 Download

Follow these steps to build and run the project.

1. Install Prerequisites

• Install a C++ compiler:
  • Windows: Visual Studio (MSVC) or MinGW
  • Linux/macOS: g++ or clang (already available on most systems)
• Install CMake

---

2. Open PowerShell (or terminal) and navigate to the project folder

cd path\to\GameHub

---

3. Create a build directory and configure with CMake

mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..

4. Build the project

cmake --build .

5. Find the executable

• If using Visual Studio / MSVC:
  • The executable will be inside build/Debug or build/Release
• If using MinGW or NMake
  • The executable wil be inside build/

6. Run the program

• If in Debug:

./Debug/GameHub.exe

• If in build:

./GameHub.exe

⚠️ Troubleshooting

• If you encounter errors during build:
  • Check that CMake and your C++ compiler are installed and available in your PATH
  • Review the error messages printed during the build process
  • Ensure your compiler version supports C++17 or later
