This is my entry for the 4th Ludum Dare 48hr game programming competition. The theme was "infection".
Your city has been overrun by plague zombies! Do your civic duty, and run down the infected citizens with your ambulance. Normal citizens are blue, infected citizens are green, and dead citizens are red. The infected normally stay indoors, but will come outside at regular intervals to infect their neighbours.
If there is no one left inside, and you manage to kill off all the infected outside, you win! Your score is the number of healthy people left alive.
If the number of healthy people ever reaches zero, you lose! And plague zombies will eat your brain!!
Either way, you can continue playing as long as you like. Feel free to run over everyone! Wooo!
Controls
- Arrow keys: gas and steering - Space bar: brakes - Esc: exit
The source is available on the website. It is GNU!! Rejoice!!! Libraries used: SDL, SDL_Mixer, SDL_image, and OpenGL.
Running over people fun! :) The problem is that there is little sense of accomplishment when you finally kill all the infected guys... :( BTW, loved the "reverse" sound! :)
After playing about 5 rounds of dll scavenger hunt, got it to run. Pretty neat, not very finished-seeming though. Had some fun running over zombies, and when it didn't even congratulate me on saving the city, I had some fun running over the healthy people :)
The sounds were quite funny. I was amused for a while with the feeling what driving the ambulance gave with the sounds. :) Zombies doesn't feel very original though..
Collision detection was bad. Screen updates choppy. missing sprites for people. Seems like it could be decient if you spend some post compotition time on it though.
