PFS - Platformer from scratch

Hello,

Today, i've wanted to make something cool, like a platformer. But, with a twist. You see, instead of using a game development tool like RayLib or Unity, i will use plain FrameBuffer and C to create a platformer game. This way, you will learn how to create a game from scratch.

NOTE: This game is Linux only as it uses <linux/fb.h> to control framebuffer. Porting this to other platforms like Windows might cause bugs or stupid stuff that is not intended.

This is a very basic example of how to create a platformer game. You can expand it to make it more complex.

First, let's install some required packages:

1. Install GCC:

   For Ubuntu/Debian:

   sudo apt-get install gcc

   For Arch Linux/Manjaro:

   sudo pacman -S gcc

   For Fedora:

   sudo dnf install gcc

2. Build the game:

   make

This will create an executable named pfs.

Running the game

1st, compile the game:

make

2nd, enter TTY mode by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 or F2, then login with your user and password.

CD into the game directory, where you cloned the repo. Then, run the game:

./pfs

Now you can play the game!

How to play
