SpaceRival's Tower Defense Game, my initial venture into the world of game development. This game was made mainly as a fun challenge as I built it entirely from the ground up, without relying on any game engine. While it may not boast cutting-edge graphics or complex gameplay, it's a simple, fun project that allowed me to learn the ropes of game development.

This game is an excellent starting point for those interested in diving into C and C++, exploring the fundamentals of game creation. Its basic graphics and straightforward gameplay offer an approachable entry point for new developers.

One of the most valuable aspects of this project is what lies beneath the surface. Since I created this game from scratch, it was a treasure of knowledge for me bundled together into a fun game. Inside the source code, you'll find various libraries and methods that can be a great resource for educational purposes, especially if you're looking to experiment with OpenGL or challenge yourself.

Please keep in mind that this tower defense game is not intended to rival professional titles, and I'd recommend using a robust game engine like Unity for serious game development. Instead, consider this project as a stepping stone in my journey as a game developer.

Give it a try, have some fun, and perhaps learn a thing or two about game development along the way. This tower defense game is all about the process and the passion for creating, without the need for perfection.
