Programmer Cheema's First Ever Game that is made in C++. Just compile the Main.cpp only, no need to link other cpp files.
The text down below used to be at the top of Main.cpp. I am leaving it there just so you can see how dedicated I was in this 'text-video' game.

[ 2.7f BETTER ROOMS NOTE: Yes! This is actually, what we want! Better Rooms... But this caused a headache! Now, we have introduced some of very nasty enemy spawning and setting bugs! Also, the performance is quite decreased and seriously, need optimizations! It will take time to fix all things! But we would not step back like we did for BreakBrick Tile Set! ]

Features from Bugs:- (Features that can be removed in future) ------------------------------------------- 0.10a Bug: -Sometimes, player bullet passes straight away through the enemy without harming it.
