Cat Fight - An ECS multiplayer rollback project

During my second year of bachelor’s degree in Game Programming, one of the modules we had to study was Networking. For that module we had to present a multiplayer game project based on an ECS (entity-component-system) – Rollback engine in which we implemented our own physics engine done in a previous module.

First, we started with a small chat application to learn how networking worked. For that app, I used Dear ImGui for the user interface and SFML to be able to use sockets.

Then we had to do a turn-based game. The game I decided to implement was Rock-Paper-Scissors but with a funny turn.

At the end I decided to call the game “Rock-Paper-Scissors-Hand” that would transform to “Rock-Paper-Scissors-Stump” if a player used scissors against a hand.

After having fun with that little game, I started implementing CatFight.
