My First ever proper programming/game dev project

Chase Runner is a 2D side-scrolling infinite runner game built natively using Java and Android Canvas. Developed as part of a club induction process, the game implements basic physics, object interactions, and sprite animations without relying on any external game engines.

Features

• Native Android implementation using Canvas
• Gravity and jump mechanics modeled with projectile motion
• Obstacle generation and collision detection
• Power-up logic with state-based effect management
• Basic sprite-based animation system (manual frame handling)
• Dynamic scoring and chase logic
• Retrofit-based API integration for splash screen tips

Tech Stack

• Java (Core game logic)
• Android XML (Layout)
• Android Canvas (Rendering)
• Retrofit (API integration)

Project Timeline

• Duration: June 2023 – July 2023
• Context: Built independently during the first year of college for a club task submission

Setup Instructions

1. Fork the repository

2. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/yourusername/ChaseRunner.git

3. Open the project in Android Studio

4. Connect an emulator or Android device

5. Build and run

Limitations

• Minimal animation due to lack of proper sprite assets
• Hardcoded frame timing
• No formal game state or pause/resume handling
