About the Game

This game is designed to work on linux, specifically Ubuntu 14.04. This game requires Bullet, Assimp (asset importer), GLFW, GLEW, and OpenGL 2.0 minimum. This game was made for a Real Time 3-D Graphics class during Spring Quarter of 2014, at Cal Poly Slo, by Richard (Byungjiin) Bae, Matthew Antosiak, Cameron Thibodeaux, Mandy Chan, Andrew McMuldroch, and Andrew Acosta.
In this game you play as a college student who blew their college fund on a cool grappling hook. In order to pay for college, they have taken on the daunting task of being a human taxi service, and taking people around town in a cool new way! Via Grappling Hook! In our game, you can pick one of 4 worlds. The starting worlds are organized as so:
World 1: Big, city like, but not enough grappling points to be as fun. Also, the massive amount of tiny objects decreases the FPS significantly. We usually had about 20 fps here.
World 2: Medium sized, and very fun. It is filled with high buildings and fun grapple points. The lack of side walks and small objects gave us a solid fps of ~60
World 3 and 4: Nearly empty worlds for you to do with as you please.
The objective of the game is to reduce your debt, and maybe store some extra dough in the bank for later. Grapple around the city completing objectives to earn money. And most of all, have fun!
