A downloadable School Project for Windows

The WinForms of Isaac is a fan-made recreation of a 'The Binding of Isaac' Boss Fight, but using WinForms.

The game only consists in the fight with a well-known Boss using part of Isaac's classic arsenal.

📖 About the Project

This is one of the projects I made while studying for my Programming degree. It involved creating an object that bounces off the screen's edges and changes its direction accordingly.

This project is merely a school prototype and does not attempt (nor succeed) in replicating the original game's gameplay, visuals, or audio quality. Its purpose is solely to demonstrate that a fairly simple game can be created using technology not specifically designed for gaming, such as WinForms.

All the sprites of the game are made from scratch, based on the original game's textures.

You can buy the original game to support their great work!

🚀 Releases

A future update with some fixes/enhancements will come in the future. You can also visit my GitHub as this project was published as a Open Source with a Apache 2.0 Licence, so anyone can use the code in it.

If you find any non-intended functionality, error or enhancement, please report it to the Issues Page in the GitHub page.
