ASCII Shmup is a side scrolling shmup, which I created as my first ever C++ project. The requirements were to simply create a variety of enemies, scoring, a gameover/victory/main menu state framework, and a scoring system.

I decided to advance the project a little bit by including a small Pico 8 based tool that could convert sprites to the text format required by the renderer. Additionally, I added a scrolling background, particle systems, and a boss battle at the end.
