🎩 Dapper Dasher

Dapper Dasher is a 2D side-scrolling runner game inspired by the classic Google Dino Game — but with more style, animations, and sound! Built in C++ using the raylib library, it’s a fun and fast-paced project showcasing animation handling, collision detection, and simple physics.

🕹 Features

-> Animated main character (Scarfy) with smooth running and jumping
-> Multiple obstacles (Nebulae) with animated sprites
-> Parallax scrolling background layers for depth and immersion
-> Gravity and jump physics for realistic motion
-> Victory and loss conditions with replay options
-> Integrated sound effects and background music

⚙️ Technical Highlights

-> Uses a custom AnimData struct to manage animations
-> Frame-based update logic running at 60 FPS
-> Efficient collision detection using rectangle overlap checks
-> Randomized obstacle placement for varied runs
-> Audio management with jump, victory, and loss sounds
-> Clean resource management (textures, sounds, music)
