Dwight’s Fantastic Beet Run
Dwight’s Fantastic Beet Run is a video game built using a GBA emulator. The game utilizes the low-level hardware programming in C to achieve basic player movements, user interactions, and transitions of the game scenes. The final outcome of this project is an action chase game where the players are tasked to control the movements of the protagonist, Dwight, in order to avoid the attacks from the beets.
