This project is a simple 2D ball game developed in C++ using the OpenGL library for rendering and Box2D for physics simulation. Players control a ball to navigate through various obstacles and collect items to gain points.
- Player Control: Players can control the ball using keyboard arrows to navigate through the game environment.
- Physics Simulation: Utilizes Box2D to manage realistic movement and collision effects.
- Scoring System: Players earn points by collecting objects and completing levels.
