Goal
In short, you'll have to create a simple 2D game, top-down or viewed from the side.
The subject in itself is fairly clear on what you have to do, I'll take some time on the next page to explain some of the core concepts you'll have to know before starting to build your game.
Before Starting
Before starting to work on this project and read what I wrote, I encourage you to take some time and read the documentation of the MiniLibX here, that's not the "official" documentation but it is still better explained there.
There's also a MiniLibX section on this Gitbook where I put some helper functions that I used as well as some hooks that might be useful for this project.
You should also choose what type of games you want to build, a top-down view, or one that is viewed from the side (like a platformer).
Examples 2D games
Here are three well known example of 2D games that exist and from which you can inspire if you need ideas.
