🎮 Running

Run the executable file followed by a valid map file, at the root of the so_long directory. Example:

Using your own map files

You can run the game with a custom map file as long as it follows the Game Rules.

📝 Game Rules

The executable so_long will receive a map as the only argument, and this map must have a .ber filetype.

The file also must follow these rules:

• The only accepted characters are:

  • P (player)
  • 1 (wall)
  • 0 (empty)
  • C (collectible)
  • E (exit)

• The map must be rectangular, i.e. all rows must have the same length

• There must be only one exit and one player, and at least one collectible in the map

• The map must be surrounded by walls

• There must be a valid path the player can take from the starting position, to the exit, collecting all colletibles.

If any of these checks fail, the game will end with Error\n followed by a custom message.

The goal is for the player( to collect all the collectibles on the map before going to an exit in the least possible number of steps
