Welcome to the Stick Figure Showdown project! This repository is dedicated to exploring and understanding the capabilities of the LibGDX game development framework by creating an engaging Stick Figure Fighting game. The project serves as a practical study, demonstrating various aspects of game development using LibGDX, from basic setup to advanced features.
Stick Figure Showdown is a 2D fighting game featuring stick figure characters. The game aims to provide a fun and interactive experience while showcasing the power and flexibility of the LibGDX framework. Throughout the development process, various LibGDX features such as graphics rendering, animation, sound, and input handling are utilized and studied in-depth.
- Engaging Combat Mechanics: Experience fast-paced and intuitive stick figure fighting gameplay.
- Character Animations: Smooth and dynamic animations bring the stick figure characters to life.
- Interactive Environments: Battle your opponent with interactive elements.
- Sound and Music: Immersive audio experience with sound effects and background music.
- Advanced AI Opponents: Challenge yourself against AI opponents that adapt to different difficulty levels.
