JumpSim

A 2D platformer game created as my CS50 final project to learn Lua, game development, and database integration.

Game Links:

• Play JumpSim in a Browser

Controls: Left/Right arrow keys to move, Space to jump, Esc for menu.
Note: SQL is not currently supported for the web build so the leaderboard will be empty.

• Downloadable Builds for Windows/Mac

Note: Download the .zip file, unzip the entire folder, then run JumpSim.exe or JumpSim.love

Features:

• Two playable characters collecting coins and reaching exits
• Physics-based collision system with walls, platforms, and movable boxes
• SQLite3 local leaderboard tracking top 10 completion times
• Save/load game functionality
• Built-in timer and pause menu
• SQL injection protection for user input

What I Learned:

• Lua programming and LÖVE2D game framework
• 2D game physics and collision detection
• Integrating SQLite databases in games
• Cross-platform builds (Windows, macOS, Linux, Web)
