OrdieRun

OrdieRun is a horizontal shoot’em up rendered entirely in ASCII/Unicode characters.

Fly through procedurally generated levels, dodge enemies, collect coins, reach checkpoints, and push your score as far as possible.

Built from scratch on a custom C# engine (EGE), with no external frameworks, just pure console rendering and handcrafted systems.

Features

• Procedural level generation

• Enemies, mines, turrets, and tentacles

• Checkpoint system with score tracking

• High score table

• Procedural audio synthesis

• ASCII/Unicode visuals, no sprites or textures

Note
The game requires a monospaced font to display correctly. DejaVuSansMono is included in the installer.
