AhmadHassan-BTed/CursedTomorrow

The core of Cursed Tomorrow lies in its simplicity and the weight of its atmosphere. Every movement, jump, and collision is tuned to resonate with the player's experience of navigating a world that feels both fragile and hostile.

• Atmospheric Isolation: A world designed to feel empty yet occupied.
• Precision Mechanics: Character movement that respects physics and player intent.
• Modular Design: A robust C++ foundation built for extensibility and performance.

The World of Tomorrow The gateway into the descent.

Gameplay	Level Selection
Navigating the void.	Choosing the path.

Atmosphere	Death
Signs of what's to come.	The inevitable end.

The project architecture prioritizes decoupling and clear ownership. It is built to scale from a simple prototype to a complex production-grade game.

The interaction between modules is strictly managed through the CursedTomorrow namespace.

The data flow follows a strict unidirectional pattern during the update phase to ensure deterministic behavior.

This project is supported by extensive documentation and presentation materials detailing its design and theoretical foundations.

This project is a solo endeavor by Ahmad Hassan (B-Ted). It represents a commitment to clean code, intentional design, and the pursuit of digital atmosphere.

• Lead Engineer: Ahmad Hassan (B-Ted)
• Framework: Raylib (Special thanks to the community)
• Vision: To create a space where code and human emotion intersect.

New people are welcomed to explore, contribute, and fork. The goal is to build a community around intentional game engineering.
