A classic arcade-style shooter game built using C++ and the SFML (Simple and Fast Multimedia Library). In this fast-paced action game, you must destroy a slithering centipede and a rogue spider before they reach your player — all while avoiding mushrooms and earning high scores!

Take control of the player at the bottom of the screen. Your mission: survive waves of centipede segments and a roaming spider. Use quick reflexes, precise aim, and smart movement to survive and score as high as possible!

• Classic Arcade Mechanics

  • Centipede moves in a zigzag pattern, splits when hit.
  • Mushrooms act as obstacles and can be shot.
  • Spider roams the screen unpredictably for added challenge.

• Pixel-style Graphics
  Clean, sprite-based visuals rendered using SFML.

• Immersive Audio
  Background music and effects (shooting, collisions, game-over) create a retro vibe.

• Game Loop
  Smooth frame updates, input handling, and real-time enemy behavior using SFML.

Earn points by:

• Shooting centipede segments
• Hitting the spider
• Destroying mushrooms

Each action increases your score. The game ends when an enemy touches the player.

• C++ compiler (g++, clang++, MSVC)
• Install SFML and configure your compiler to link it properly.
• Texture and audio files (included)
