In this project, we'll code a simple 2D game to get familiar with the mlx library and UI in general.

So_Long

About the project

The objective of this project is to create a small 2D game where the player has to collect all the collectibles and go to the exit.

GAME RULES

• The game we choose must follow a set of rules. The executable so_long will receive a map as the only argument, and this map will have a .ber filetype.
• Only P (character), 1 (wall), 0 (ground), C (collectible), and E (exit) will be accepted characters in our map.
• The map must be rectangular, i.e. all rows must have the same length
• There must be at least one exit, one player, and one collectible on the map
• The map must be closed, i.e. surrounded by walls
• If any of these checks fail, the game must end with Error\n followed by a custom message.
• The goal is for the player(s) to collect all the collectibles on the map before going to an exit in the least possible number of steps
