Zombie Game that uses Lua in the LOVE engine.
Control a 2D circle as it tries to survive in a top-down world filled with dangerous zombie 2D circles.
Running:
To run from source, you must download LOVE and the source code. After unzipping the source code, follow the instructions in the LOVE wiki:
- Windows: In file explorer, drag the src folder onto love.exe in the LOVE folder (make sure .dlls that come with LOVE installation are in same folder as love.exe)
- Windows: In command prompt, enter
"[LOVE Folder Path]\love.exe" "[Lua-Zombie-Game Folder Path]\src" - Linux: Enter
love [Lua-Zombie-Game Folder Path]/src/ - Mac: In Mac Terminal, enter
open -n -a love "~[Lua-Zombie-Game Folder Path]/src
Controls:
- WASD to move
- Mouse to aim
- M1 to shoot
- 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 to switch weapons
- R to reload
Sandbox Controls (Enter Konami Code):
- F to spawn a zombie at the crosshair
- V to set player health to 9999
- B to make the zombies quiet
- C to equip the Super Gun
Notable Accomplishments (for me):
- Entity management system that manages multiple instances of a Class and automatically deletes them when a condition is met, shifting the rest of the entities in order to maintain an array structure
- Collision system that utilizes AABB and circle collision algorithms
- Efficient system that takes advantage of the Entity Management System in order to collide all objects against each other
- No use of sprites or canvas - everything is either text or a circle
This project was developed over a duration of one week from 8/8/2020 - 8/14/2020
