This game is based on the Biblical story of Noah's Ark. The goal is to provide a fun way to become more familiar with and learn more about the story of Noah's Ark.

The game is a native Windows game, running at least on Windows 8 (x64). Currently, the game is has its first full version available. Additional enhancements may come in the future.

Basic gameplay details are provided in a PowerPoint presentation in the documentation/design folder. Overall, the game features a 2D overhead view with a tile map and involves collecting things.

The game is programmed using C++ within a Visual Studio 2019 environment. Doxygen is used to document the code.

The game is designed for command line builds using various .bat files and also opening as a folder in Visual Studio.

Several dependencies are used (see ThirdParty folder):

• SFML 2.5.1 - The main library for windowing, graphics, and input. (zlib/libpng license). ** Note than OpenAL from SFML is also used directly for more control (LGPL license).
• GSL (MIT license)
• Catch - Unit testing (Boost Software license).

The dependencies described above are included in the ThirdParty folder.

** Note that a custom build of the SFML libraries is used for linking. This is because at the current time, no Visual Studio 2019 pre-built libraries exist. And even if they did, the pre-built libraries tend to not support full static linking of the Visual C++ runtime, so a custom build was needed.

The graphics use a "Game Boy Color" style for the overall shape of sprites, but a wider color palette may be used.
