# Plasso!

A short adventure game made as my capstone project

In *Plasso!*, you play as a farmer whose animals have been scattered across a large open world. You'll need to grab your Paintbrush-Lasso, bring them all back home before the winter storms roll in, and defeat the monster that scared them off in the first place.

The game was written entirely by myself in C++, using the [Simple DirectMedia Layer 3 (SDL3)](https://www.libsdl.org/) development library for game input and rendering. The map was created and exported with [Tiled](https://www.mapeditor.org/).

*Plasso!* is currently not available for download, as while it was completed within the expectations of a capstone project (earning a 100 on the final submission), it is not yet in a state where I would consider it fully polished and fit for release. Many of the non-programming elements, such as visuals and music, are either half-baked or entirely missing. However, I'm very proud of the work I put into it, and would love to publish it in some form one day.
