The First Part of R-type #

R-Type — A Game Engine That Roars! #

Projet Overview #

R-Type is a C++ networked video game project inspired by the classic 90’s shoot’em’up.
The goal of this project is to design and implement:

• a multi-threaded server managing all game logic, and
• a graphical client rendering the game world and handling player input.

Beyond recreating the original R-Type gameplay, this project emphasizes software architecture, networking, and game engine design, using modern C++ practices.

Project Structure #

• Server (r-type_server) — authoritative game logic and networking.
• Client (r-type_client) — rendering, input, and local player control.
• Game Engine Core — reusable architecture including systems for:
  • Rendering
  • Networking (UDP-based)
  • Game Logic
  • Entity-Component-System (ECS) architecture
