Retrograde Jam 3

Hello everyone. This is my entry for the Retrograde Jam 3 - Chain Reaction - a little casual game developed using my own low level pixel engine (LiteGameEngine). The purpose of this engine is to display pixels procedurally like did our old video games consoles. I struggled hard in order to play with alpha, but the result is good enough. I use this engine for mathematical demonstrations, low level applications and sometimes games for Jam sessions. The rules are simple : click on the screen so as to create a first circle which starts a chain reaction. You have to erase 80% of bubbles to get to the next level. Each new level, you decrease the numbers of bubbles on screen - so you increase the difficulty...

Developing this code in pure C++, I liked to play with structures and some mathematical theorems like smooth lerping and distance computation. I had fun creating it. The final renderer reminds us an old Atari 2600 or 7800. At this stage, the engine is a beta framework. Maybe you will have some errors playing. Let me know the information like needed libraries or something else. I wonder if it runs as a standalone application - there is a single exe file. I guess. Thank you for your help :)

I would like to add some words about the short procedural track. All is generated using a one-line C++ algorithm. It is really hard to create something relevant, but sometimes it works. Take a look at those examples.

Finally I have more free time than I expected. I am in quarantine because of Corona. So I decided to create more little games to promote my game engine. The second one is a cool MineSweeper 10*10. Not a big revolution, but a good stuff ++

I added another game - Snooker. It uses a tiny physics engine which seems to me really good for a little 2d project ++

PS : as said my friend 56bot, execution is not able for those who have no Visual Studio solution on their PC because of Debug mode compilation. Now the games are available as Release standalone exe.
