TonicEngine - A 2D Engine

Plus QBert!

Description

A custom 2D engine written in C++ with a euphemism as its name (for the record, this doesn’t imply anything on behalf of the quality of the engine though). This project was a final assignment for the “Programming 4” course, with the goal of finishing the start of a given base engine, which was made to be bad on purpose and re-creating the famous QBert game using your own improved engine version. 

The engine supports a few neat features which make for the success of fun and nostalgic QBert and has been revisited a few times for refactoring/cleaning of the code.
