AnimSprites

This is the beginning of a lightweight 2D platformer developed in C#, using the built-in GDI+ graphics API within Winforms.

The goal was to implement a robust sprite animation system, integrated with platforming mechanics such as movement, collision, and dynamic object handling.

Features

• 🎮 Smooth sprite animations for walking, jumping, and attacking
• 🎯 Precise collision detection with platforms and screen boundaries
• 🛠️ In-game platform builder: create, move, and delete platforms or bushes at runtime
• 🌿 Interactive objects — bushes can be placed and struck with a lightning effect
• 🌧️ Toggleable rain effect via the build menu
• 🧩 Modular architecture for easy extension and maintenance

Development setup

1. Clone the repository with Git
2. Open the '.sln' file in Visual Studio 2022
3. Build the solution with Ctrl+Shift+B
4. Run with debugging

Unit Tests

• Sprite movement and animation consistency
• Platform collision from above and below
• Screen boundary enforcement
• Runtime object management (platforms and interactive elements)
• Level serialization and deserialization integrity
