This is a simple C++ console-based 2-player shooting game built using only standard libraries like <windows.h>, <conio.h>, and <iostream>. It's a fun side project to practice real-time game logic and C++ programming fundamentals.

• The main game (game) and game_file_for_pr are bug-free, smooth, and work well.

  • However, they do not include timer or score calculation yet.
  • These versions are the same in functionality and code.

• game2_beta was built with the help of ChatGPT.

  • It includes:
    • ⏱️ Timer functionality
    • 🏆 Score tracking for both players
  • But it still has a few bugs and rough edges due to these added features.

• Real-time 2-player console gameplay
• Player A controls: W, A, S, D to move, F to shoot
• Player B controls: I, J, K, L to move, H to shoot
• 💣 Bombs spawn randomly and explode on bullet collision
• 💥 Side explosions affect nearby tiles
• ❌ If a player is hit by a bomb or its side fragments, they are eliminated
• ✅ The last player standing wins the game
• 🧪 In game2_beta: If time runs out, the player with the highest score wins

I plan to improve the game further in 2026 or 2027, possibly adding:

• 💥 Power-ups like shield, speed, and rapid fire
• ❤️ Health and healing system
• 🤖 AI-controlled bot enemies
• 🧨 Multi-hit bombs with large animations
• 🎨 Enhanced visual effects and screen feedback
• 🔊 Realistic sound using audio files (instead of Beep())

Want to contribute? Awesome!
You can:

• Fix bugs in game2_beta
• Add new features to game_file_for_pr (same as game, clean base)
