🎮 so_long

A simple 2D game built in C using MiniLibX — collect, escape, and survive the maze.

📌 Description

so_long is a 42 School project that involves building a tile-based 2D game in C. The player moves around a map, collects all collectibles, and reaches the exit. The game is rendered using the MiniLibX graphics library, and the map is parsed from a .ber file.

The project teaches core concepts in graphics rendering, keyboard event handling, custom map parsing, and basic game loop logic.

🎨 Features

• Graphical rendering with MiniLibX
• Real-time keyboard movement
• Map reading and validation from .ber files
• Collectibles and exit goal
• Wall collision and path restriction
• Bonus: enemies, animations, and move counter

🕹️ Controls

• W / ↑ – Move up
• S / ↓ – Move down
• A / ← – Move left
• D / → – Move right
• ESC – Quit the game

🚀 Run the Game
