Click the Cat – a playful, time‑limited click‑er built for Garbage Jam #4

In this charming little game you have 30 seconds to keep a mischievous cat in sight and smack it before time runs out. The cat roams the screen, and each successful click triggers a delightful “meow” sound effect. Rack up points, chase a high‑score even though there is no tracking of highscore, and watch the timer color shift as the challenge intensifies.


Technical Details

  • Written in C using the Raylib library for graphics and audio.
  • Configurations such as screen size, FPS cap, and volume are defined in constants.h.
  • Modular source files (main.cgame.cplayer.ccat.caudio.c) keep the code organized.
  • Built for macOS so gameplay and performance  may vary. 


Why Play?

NO IDEA...

For those interested...I've never made a game before and never programmed in C or C++ before. I've never used raylib before either. I challenged myself to do something which many would consider difficult and finish something. I am bad for personal projects not being finished. So I worked really hard on keeping things organized, and scope as little as possible for this submission, hence its lack luster nature. I wanted to focus on learning and submit a working item. even if the high score function broke...

Overall I'm quite happy with what I learned. The source code is freely MIT licensed and anyone can use it.
