Inspiration

The meme of the Cameraman has pervaded through various forms of social media. You see a video of a man running and think, "Who's recording this?" We have the answer: The Cameraman.

You see a video of sharks underwater and think, "Props to the Cameraman for holding his breath so long."

You see a digital rendition of a black hole and hear the words "nothing escapes." But you know the truth. The Cameraman escapes all.

What it does

You go level by level, training your skills as a talented cameraman. Eventually you can hold your breath underwater and record sharks, then survive a nuclear blast and even outer space!

How we built it

Using OpenGL and C/C++, we created this game lovingly by hand.

Challenges we ran into

C, C++, and OpenGL are not the most intuitive to use. Boilerplate took up a lot of time :(

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We got the game built at least! There is still much more to do!

What we learned

To make a good quality game in C/C++ and OpenGL, it takes time that we did not fully have.

What's next for The Cameraman

More levels! Cutscenes! The eventual heat death of the universe! The Cameraman survives all!
