A downloadable game

Roadside Runner is an infite-runner type of game based on a child's day-dream of having a character running alongside the car while looking outside the window from the backseat. This game was created as my Final Project for CS50's Introduction to Computer Science course.

The game uses the Love2D framework, which uses the Lua programming language. I mainly used things I learned from the first couple of classes of CS50's Intro to GameDev, specifically the FlappyBird and Breakout clones. I used the files from those lessons as a starting point but all the code was written and modified by myself.

Most of the sounds, including the Menu and Gameplay music, were created by me using Bfxr (for effects) and Beepbox (for music).

All of the game art was downloaded from [OpenGameArt](https://opengameart.org/) and here are all the artist's names:

- Background/Hydrant - CraftPix.net 2D Game Assets - https://opengameart.org/users/craftpixnet-2d-game-assets

- Wasp - Tiamalt - https://opengameart.org/users/tiamalt

- Trashcan - dant-e - https://opengameart.org/users/dant-e

- Runner/Icon - bevouliin - https://opengameart.org/users/bevouliincom

The font used was downloaded from https://www.1001freefonts.com/raider-crusader.font and was crated by Iconian Fonts.

***Hope you enjoy the game. I had a great time creating it!***
