ghostland-game

This is a continuation of my goland-game project.

While the previous project was implemented in go, for this project I was not able to get the go bindings for OpenGL working, and so I went with C++.

Repository Guidelines outlines code structure, build steps, and contribution conventions.

Configuration (ghostland.json)

ghostland.json is parsed at startup with a minimal line-by-line reader, so keep it a flat list of key-value pairs ("key": value). Omitted keys fall back to in-code defaults.

Key	Type	Default	Description
camera_speed	float	20.0	Scales how fast the free camera pans when you move the mouse to the screen edge or hold movement keys. Raise for faster fly-through, lower for precise adjustments.
ghost_reset_distance	float	10.0	Minimum distance (units) between the player and the nearest ghost before the player is snapped back to the maze start. Increase for a safer buffer, decrease for higher tension.

Example:

{
    "camera_speed": 30.0,
    "ghost_reset_distance": 8.5
}
