Car Avoidance Game

This repository contains the source code for a simple car avoidance game developed using the Gosu library in Ruby. The game involves controlling a player's car to avoid obstacles and achieve a high score. Actually, this is just a school project.

Game Description

Car Avoidance is a simple 2D game where players control a car and attempt to avoid all the obstacles along the road. The game features a car that the player can move left and right, as well as obstacles that move downward. The objective is to get the highest score by avoiding collisions with any obstacles.

Gameplay

• The player controls a car using the left and right arrow keys to move horizontally.
• The goal is to avoid colliding with the randomly generated obstacles that move downwards on the screen.
• The player's score increases as long as they don't collide with any obstacle.
• The game ends when the player collides with an obstacle.
• The highest score achieved is recorded for the future play.

Features

• Player movement: The player can move the car left and right to avoid obstacles by using corresponding arrow keys (left and right).
• Collision Detection: The game use AABB collision detection for the sake of simplicity.
• Scoring system: As long as the player does not collide with any obstacles, their score increases, and the highest score is saved for future play.
• Game Over screen: When the game ends, a Game Over screen is displayed showing the score, high score, and options to restart or return to the main menu.
• Start screen: The game starts with a start screen allowing the player to begin the game, view the instructions on how to play, access settings, view credits (actually no), or quit the game.
• Settings screen: The settings screen allows the player to adjust the music volume. This music volume will be recorded so that they don't need to change again in future.
