Project Overview

Just Purchased a Farm But… (JPFB) is a game developed for the PlayDate console using the C programming language. When it comes to programming, this game features camera projections and flocking algorithms, which are essential for creating a dynamic and immersive gaming experience. This project was a test of my ability to create a 3D like game experience on a limited hardware platform, and it was a great learning experience in terms of both programming and project management.

Game Features

Camera Projections: The game utilizes camera projections to create a 3D-like experience on the PlayDate’s 2D screen. This technique allows for a more immersive and visually appealing game environment.
Flocking Algorithms: The game features flocking algorithms to simulate the behavior of groups of animals, such as birds or fish. This adds a layer of realism and complexity to the game, making it more engaging for players.
