2D Rocket League is like a combination of the PC/Console game Rocket League and Head Soccer. It is a 2 player game with each player spawning on one side of the screen by their respective goals. Games are 90 seconds long and from there its just like soccer with cars. You can move forward, back, boost, jump and change direction in the air in order to hit the ball, which spawns in the middle, into the goal. At the end of the time, either red/blue wins or it is a draw.

To play this game, you will need CLion, Cinder and Box2D. First, you will need to get JetBrains C++ IDE: CLion. If you do not already have it, you can get it at this link, https://www.jetbrains.com/clion/. You will also need to download Cinder which is available at this link, https://libcinder.org/download. Once you have Cinder, you must build the Cinder library. To do this, first, take the download Cinder file and open it in CLion. Then click the build button near the top of the screen that looks like a hammer. It may take a while, but it will build the library. It may also already contain Box2D in the /blocks directory. If it does not, you can get Box2D at this link, https://github.com/cinder/Cinder/tree/master/blocks/Box2D. You can clone this directory straight into /blocks in Cinder. Now, you must create a director in Cinder for your projects. Once you have that directory, you can clone this project into that directory. Finally, you can run and play the game!
