so_long's Issues

Bug when executing the program inside maps directory

The sprite path searching fails when the program is executed in the maps directory, leading to the error:

[ERROR] Invalid texture, I can't open it

It should be easy to fix, just use the same algorithm, but for argv[0] (program) instead of argv[1] (map) in this scenario.

Do bonus

• Implement enemies that kills the player on collision. The character that represents the enemy could be N, for NPC, B for Boss or something else.
• When the player "dies" implement a reset game, or just finish the game indicating that the player lost.
• Implement the step counter on the left top corner.

So_long

Implement a function to get the relative path of the sprites

Implement a function to get the relative path of the sprites to fix segfaults when loading the textures if the program is run anywhere else than the root directory of the repository.
