➤ Download the BROINK project files from Git: github.com/LooveToLoose/BROINK
I made a competitive PvP game. Then I realized I don't have any friends (who can beat me) so I made an unbeatable AI to play against. Let's just say I learned some new lessons here. Be careful what you wish for, it might ruin your game. Lol.
Besides that, this billiard like game turned out surprisingly classy and fun, so I decided to publish it as public domain (or CreativeCommons0 to be more precise), so you can do with my game files whatever you want. I'm curious to see what you come up with (see link above).
I hope you enjoy the video!! Thanks for watching! :)
