Deflector (2024)

Deflector is a showcase game for a custom game engine called BalisongEngine, for Windows, made with C++

Made in December 2024 for Game Engine Architecture and Design assignment. (Semester 7)

This project is all about creating a custom game engine from scratch, and then using Doxygen to document info on classes, functions, and tutorials on how to use it.

How to Play:

• Enemies spawn randomly around the player to shoot them with bullets

• The player can only move and rotate to face the enemies' bullets

• This will reflect the bullet back to the enemies to defeat them

• Facing away from the bullet and getting hit would lose the game

• The enemy spawning is endless, so this is a hypercasual survival game

Controls:

Controls	Actions
Mouse	Move and Rotate

Trivia:

Heavily inspired by Unity, the custom game engine will try to follow some of its features like:

• Time Engine

• Input System

• Scene Management

• Game Objects and Components (OCM)

• Transform Component

• Rendering System

• SpriteRenderer

• Resource Management

• Animator

• Buttons

• Game Events (Signal)

• Simple Collision (Box2D)

• AudioSource (IrrKlang)
