About the game and its context
This is Deep Down, a side-scrolling platformer game about exploring an abandoned and mysterious cave. It has two different levels:
while the first one follows the player entering the underground world, the second one is about an epic chase towards the exit of this dangerous place.
Deep Down is the materialization of our effort and acquired knowledge during the first quarter of the year in Development subject. This project would not be possible without the help of Ricard Pillosu and the entire CITM-UPC.
Special kudos to Momodora: Reviere under the Moonlight, Cave Story, Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Dark Souls series for the art of the game.

Core of the game
The entire game is structured in modules where the princiapl module (App) manages and calls all the other modules that inherits from a base class(j1Module). All modules have the same methods: PreUpdate, Update, PostUpdate and all of them are called from the core module in an infinite loop.
Two of its modules(GUI and Entity Factory) manage a subsystem of modules that follows the same structure that the explained above with the objective to have a strong and independent enitity and UI system.
