Hackformer
Hackformer is a 2D puzzle platformer where you hack the world around you to advance. Possible hacks that you can pull off in this game include making:
- Yourself run faster
- Enemies shoot slower
- Tiles patrol back and forth
- Control lasers with your keyboard
- Reverse gravity
- Slow down time
- Make enemies loyal to you
I programmed Hackformer using SDL2 and OpenGL in C++ using a custom renderer and physics engine that I wrote. Since every object in the game can be hacked and changed very significantly (as an example, you can hack tiles to chase after you and try to shoot you), finding a robust way to simulate them was really interesting.
