ncJump

A jumping project

NcJump is a project started on December 2020 with the purpose of learning and testing the capabilities of a new engine: nCine, an open-source C++ framework for 2D games developed by @encelo.

Some time ago, a bunch of members of the GameLoop community followed CS50's introduction to game development, and I though the sequence of games presented in that course could give me a good insight on what kind of game to create.

A couple of developers already made or started to make the first few games listed by that course. There is a Pong clone made by @encelo, a Flappy Bird clone made by @Vasile-Peste, and a Breakout clone under development by @mat3. I opted for a Super Mario Bros clone.

The idea is to follow the steps of CS50's lecture 4 by using nCine instead of Love2D.
