This final paper deals with the creation of a 2D video game in the C++ programming language. To create this video game Microsoft Visual Studio IDE was used. Visual Studio includes a built-in code editor that supports IntelliSense code completion and an integrated debugger. Visual Studio, was used along with Simple and Fast Multimedia Library was used. SFML is a cross-platform software development library designed to provide a simple application programming interface (API) for various multimedia components on computers. Video games and what they are is defined, important terms in the development of video games are explained, and the video game genre is described. The prototype of the video game consists of a 2D, shoot 'em up video game with a retro aesthetic. The design of the video game is based on the class Game, where the game loop of the is running, states and objects (Entity) of the video game and their components. There are three states: MainMenuState which enables the functionality of the main menu, SettingsState which enables the functionality of the settings menu and GameState. GameState is the state that creates all the video game objects Player, Enemy and Bullet and manages their mutual interactions, updates them and allows them to be drawn on the screen. In addition, GameState manages the PauseMenu and GameOver menus. The design of the entire game is responsive because it can be adapted to different resolutions and the gameplay components are completely independent of the hardware speed.
