LakyCarcar: Puzzle Game Project

January 2024Completed

Project Overview

LakyCarcar is a puzzle game project developed as the final assignment for our C++ programming course. The game challenges players to move cars within a grid-based parking lot to free the target vehicle.

My responsibilities included:

- **Designing core game logic and data structures** for efficient state representation and move calculation

- **Implementing memory management and object-oriented design** principles in C++

- **Developing an interactive UI with SFML**, handling real-time mouse input and smooth visual feedback

- Adding features like reset, save/load progress, and custom difficulty levels

This project was my first deep dive into graphics programming and memory optimization in C++, significantly strengthening my software engineering foundations.
