IT'S FINALLY OUT!!!
My first commercial game and my first game under the Ioncom brand. It's an action, roguelite, dungeon-crawler with limited lives and permadeath.
It's currently Linux exclusive, but the source code is available and you should be able to compile it for anything that SFML runs on.

@theorytoe Simple and Fast Multimedia Library. It's like SDL, but written in C++ and more object-oriented.
ive been playing around with sdl2 for awhile now
I dont really have time to actually make a serious effort at a game but seeing more hand-rolled engines in the real world is neat
@theorytoe I don't know if I can recommend it though. It probably does a few things right compared to SDL but it has it's own quirks.
For example, SFML has two objects needed to draw an image onto a window, where in most other languages you only need one. SFML has a texture object, which is just the image data and a sprite object which contains a pointer to the texture along with coordinates. Most other graphics libraries only need the equivalent of the texture object to draw an object on a screen.
SDL is also more widely used. I can't think of a single well known game using SFML. I only use it because I have an autistic urge to be different.
