Menuet/CX Animated Arcade Game
Senior Project: 1994-1995
Brian Drake, Paul Li, Mark Meakins and Alexander Popiel
Autumn Hill Software, Inc. provides graphics development tools to the
professional programmer for the DOS, MS-Windows, and OS/2 operating systems.
One of these tools, Menuet/CX, is a multi-platform object-oriented C++-based
interface which provides a single API for multiple operating and windowing
systems. Menuet/CX has one of the most extensive graphics libraries of any
cross platform API.
The goal of this project was to create an animated, arcade-style game with
Menuet/CX. This game will be used to demonstrate the capabilities of Menuet/CX.
The game, called BlobRunner, allows a hero (Skinny) to run around the corridors
of a long ago abandoned mine trying to collect treasure, such as diamonds and
gold, and tools, such as picks, flame throwers, and parachutes, all while being
chased by evil blobs set on doing him in. The game was developed using an
object-oriented approach with C++.
