GrappleGame is a 2d game engine that I wrote in 2014. It allows for 2d sidescrolling platformers.

Technologies used:

• Java
• AWT
• Kotlin (as of 2017)

It supports the following:

• AI for multiple mobs, with different patterns
• sidescrolling
• collision (from all directions)
• Mutiple block types, such as
  • slow blocks
  • portal blocks (load the next level)
  • platform blocks (do not have bottom collision)
• variable jump height
• level editing
• mouse support
  • the grappling hook attaches to the cursor
  • red dot points towards mouse)
• audio support

I also did the pixel art for the game! It was the first pixel art project I attempted.
