Virtual world CPP

The implementation of virtual world simulator using OOP in C++. The main goal of the project is the implementation of a 2D virtual world simulator. The virtual world have the structure of a two-dimensional NxM grid. In this world, simple life forms will exist, each with different behavior depending on its species. Every organism occupies exactly one cell of the world's 2D grid array. Each cell can contain no more than a single organism at a time (in case of a collision, one of the organisms is removed from this cell). All action in the simulator are performed in turns. During each turn, every living organism in the world performs an action appropriate to its kind. Some of the organisms move (animals), while others remain static (plants). In case of a collision (one of the organisms enters a cell occupied by another organism) one of them wins, either by killing its opponent (i.e. wolf) or by reflecting the opponent's attack (i.e. turtle). The order of all actions during a single turn depends on the initiative of each living organism. The animals with the highest initiative move first. In case of animals with the same initiative, the order is determined by the animal's age (the oldest animal will move first). In case of a collision, the victory depends on the strength of both organisms - the stronger organism wins (with some exceptions, eg. turtle). In case of equal strength, the encounter is won by the attacker. The game also includes a human player, who is a specific kind of animal. Unlike regular animals, his movement is not random. Instead, the direction of the human's movement is determined by the player by pressing the appropriate arrow key before the start of every round. Human also possesses a special ability called "Aluzr's shield", which can be activated with a separate key. Once activated, the ability works for 5 turns, after which it is automatically deactivated. After deactivation, the ability cannot be activated for the next 5 turns. The simulation is initiated with several instances of every kind of organism already placed in the game world. The program window includes a text box for displaying messages about the results of fights between animals, consumption of plants and other events occurring inside the simulated world.
