Space Invaders - C++ Game

Overview

This is a Space Invaders clone developed in C++ using the SGG library. The game follows the classic arcade shooter format, where the player controls a spaceship and defends against waves of invading aliens. In contrast to the original game ,this project allows the player's spaceship to also have vertical movements and collide with the obstacles protecting him. The goal is to eliminate all enemies while dodging their attacks.
