As you progress, the waves of bombs become more frequent and numerous, testing your typing speed and accuracy.\n\n\u003cimg width=\"500\" height=\"500\" alt=\"image\" src=\"https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/8a6b273e-0a99-44a1-b17f-aa7082d899db\" /\u003e\n\n\n## Features\n\n*   **Endless Gameplay:** Face continuous waves of bombs with progressively increasing difficulty.\n*   **Scoring System:** Earn points for each bomb you successfully destroy.\n*   **High Score Tracking:** The game saves your highest score, so you can always aim to beat your personal best.\n*   **Audio:** Includes background music and sound effects for an immersive experience.\n*   **Cheat Code:** Feeling overwhelmed? Try to find the secret cheat code for infinite lives!\n\n## How to Play\n\n*   **Start Game:** Press `ENTER` on the main menu to begin.\n*   **Shoot Bombs:** Type the word displayed on a bomb. The bullet fires automatically upon completing the word.\n*   **Clear Input:** If you make a mistake, press `BACKSPACE` to clear your current typed word and start over.\n*   **Restart:** After the game is over, press `ENTER` to play again.\n*   **Exit:** Press `ESC` at any time to close the game.\n\n## Building from Source\n\nThe game is built using C++ and OpenGL (via `freeglut`).\n\n### Dependencies\n\n*   A C++ compiler (like g++ from MinGW-w64 on Windows).\n*   **freeglut:** The OpenGL Utility Toolkit.\n\nYou can typically install `freeglut` on Windows by placing the necessary header files (`GL/glut.h`, etc.) in your compiler's include directory and the library files (`freeglut.lib` or `libfreeglut.a`) in the library directory.\n\nThe `miniaudio` library is included directly in the source (`miniaudio.h`), so no external audio library is required.\n\n### Compilation Command\n\nNavigate to the project directory in your terminal and run the following command to compile the game:\n\n```sh\ng++ -DFREEGLUT_STATIC main.cpp -o WordBlaster.exe -I./include -L./lib -lfreeglut -lopengl32 -lglu32 -lwinmm -lgdi32 -static -s -mwindows -O2\n```\n\nThis will create an executable file named `WordBlaster.exe`.\n\n### Required Game Files\n\nMake sure the following files and folders are in the same directory as the executable:\n\n*   `res/`\n    *   `words.txt` (The word list for the bombs)\n    *   `sounds/` (Contains all `.wav` sound files)\n\n## Credits\nSome of the game building credit goes to my team members, as this was a group project of one of my university courses.\n\n### Team Members\nTeam 4 Bit\n- Sadman Sakib\n- Jannatul Adan Adreeta\n- Md.
