# **Tank Wars 2D - OpenGL Game**

## **Overview**

**Tank Wars** is a **2D tank battle game** built using **OpenGL and C++**. The game features real-time tank combat and collision detection. This project was developed as part of the **Computer Graphics Course (EGC)** at Politehnica University of Bucharest.

## **Features**

- **Player-controlled tanks** with movement and shooting mechanics.

- **Collision detection** between tanks, edge, and projectiles.

- **Basic physics simulation** for projectile motion and tank movement.

- **OpenGL rendering** for real-time graphics.

## **Game Mechanics**

### **Tank Movement**

- Tanks can move **forward, backward, and rotate** the barrel using keyboard controls.

### **Shooting System**

- Tanks can fire **projectiles** that follow a ballistic trajectory.

- Projectiles **collide with tanks**, dealing damage or being destroyed.

## **Installation & Running**

### **Build & Run**

1. **Clone the repository:**

   ```sh

   git clone https://github.com/robertpaulp/Tank-Wars.git   cd Tank-Wars

   ```

2. **Build and Run on Windows:**

    - Install Visual Studio (with "Desktop development with C++" module)

    - Install CMake

    - Open CMake GUI:

      - Set source code path to project root

      - Set build path to `build` directory
