# Car Game 🚗

A console-based Car Game implemented in C++ that utilizes **multithreading** to enhance gameplay by playing background music and handling other tasks simultaneously.

## Project Structure

This project includes the following files:

- **main.cpp**: Contains the main game logic, including movement, scoring, and collision detection.

- **CarG.h**: The header file defining the `CarG` class and its methods, including multithreaded functionality.

- **CarG.exe**: The compiled executable for running the game.

- **123.wav**

- **all.wav**

## Features

- **Player-Controlled Car**: Navigate left and right on the road to avoid obstacles.

- **Enemy Cars and Cash Collection**: Dodge enemy cars and collect cash symbols (`$`) for points.

- **Dynamic Difficulty**: As points increase, the game speed accelerates, adding to the challenge.

- **Multithreading for Background Music**: A separate thread plays background music while the game runs smoothly.

- **Simple Controls**:

  - **`A`** or **`a`** - Move Left

  - **`D`** or **`d`** - Move Right

  - **`Q`** or **`q`** - Quit the game

## Multithreading Feature

The game uses multithreading to play background music continuously during gameplay. The `music` function is run in a separate thread to ensure that sound playback does not interfere with the main game loop.

In **CarG.h**, the `music` function is defined to play sound files:

```cpp

void music() {

    PlaySound(TEXT("123.wav"), NULL, SND_SYNC);

    PlaySound(TEXT("all.wav"), NULL, SND_SYNC);

}
