Pookan Mission
Idea
A 2d game using software design principles.
Implementation
Object pooling, singleton classes, inheritance, references and pointers were some of the concepts that were successfully implemented within this game. Simple DirectMedia Layer was used for resource management, sprites, music and so on.
Result
This project saved my grade considering that I had nuked all my tests.
Here’s a video that demonstrates level 01 of the game.
Learning’s
C++ as a language, the in’s and out’s. How much ever you will learn, it will never be enough. Typecasting.
Experience
Coding as an art, I enjoyed it. Comparing my newly gained knowledge in an object oriented language like C++ to coding in other languages like scripting languages (python, perl).

Implementation
openimageio library was used to input, display and write images. Various keyboard presses enable different operations like writing, moving back and forth between images and so on. Alpha masking was first done using binary mask and an advanced greyscale mask was tried.
The petro vlahos algorithm and spill suppression extensions were successfully implemented. The alpha masked image was composited onto a background.
