The Battlegrounds

Introduction:

This is a simple turn-based strategy game I created in my first year of a game development degree for a 2D programming paper, built using C++ and SFML.

The assignment was to build a turn-based strategy game with at least 6 different units and basic AI, along with a two-player mode, and this is what I came up with.

Story:

The goal in The Battlegrounds is to spawn units in an attempt to have them get across the battlefield, killing enemies as they go. As they reach the enemy HQ, the enemy health (HP) will decrease by the units attack amount. Win the game by defeating the opponent. 

There are 6 unique units, along with 6 unique spells, each that cost reinforcement points (RP) and mana points (MP) respectively, that you accrue each turn.

Controls:

Click on the corresponding unit or spell buttons to use (if you have enough RP or MP). Hovering over buttons will provide additional information.

Hovering over spawned units will also provide individual information about that respective unit, such as current HP.
