🎮 COIN CRUSADE: KNIGHT'S QUEST

An Endless 2D Runner Game
Conquer obstacles, collect coins, and adapt to AI-driven challenges in this unique endless-runner experience.
Choose from four intelligent difficulty generators that shape the gameplay dynamically. In COIN CRUSADE: KNIGHT'S QUEST, players take on the role of a brave knight navigating an endless world filled with AI-generated obstacles and challenges. Your objective is to run, jump, and collect coins while the game intelligently adjusts its difficulty based on your gameplay.

🧠 Dynamic Difficulty Generators

The game features four unique AI-based difficulty generators, each offering a different experience:

🔹 Linear Generator

• The difficulty increases progressively over time, independent of the player's performance.

🔹 Hamlet System

• Difficulty adapts dynamically based on the player's performance in each section of the game.
• Inspired by Stock Theory.

🔹 Neural Network Generator

• Adjusts gameplay difficulty using data collected during your runs, analyzed through a neural network.

🔹 Reinforcement Learning Generator

• Uses reinforcement learning to optimize challenges as you play.
• The longer you play, the smarter the game becomes at estimating your skill level.

🕹️ Controls

Master the controls to succeed on your quest:

• Move Right: Press the Right Arrow to accelerate forward.
