Okay, so i guess the title says it a bit.
I felt like making a SFML game prototype, a fully functional game incorporating both keyboard, mouse, rotation, lists, iteration, hittests, vectors all that, in as small a code as i could without any needless optimization.. a game that anyone who wants, can take apart and put together as they want...
But even more, i would Love if we could make a collection of such short, fully functional games. some like this in just one file.
some using functions.
some using multiple files and headers
but all small, gritty fully functional for others to pick apart.
maybe make tutorials on them...
This is not about CORRECT code... this is about WORKING code.... the key stone to prototyping....
Why? Because that was how i learned to program back in the day... i took working games (Pacal, VB and later Flash AS2 games btw) and made changes until they did something differently so i could figure out what it was...
So... here is around an hours work.
First the full code without comments and without extra line space.

This code teaches a lot of the skills i feel is necessary to make a full game prototype.
or even a full game...
but it would be awesome if others could add small game codes like this... comment or ask questions. even if someone would make a tutorial on the individual things in this code...
oh yes, and an image of the game in attachment
