13: AAAAH! More Zombies
This post was published in 2016 and is kept here for reference. It may contain information that's outdated or inaccurate.
For today’s hack I’m revisiting yesterday’s zombie game again. With a full re-write to un-bodge the implementation.
There are a couple of things I’ve changed in the re-write:
- Zombies get faster to you the closer you are to them
- Health/death added!
- Zombies have full bodies now
And a couple of things that didn’t make it in to the re-write:
- Can’t kill the zombies with your death stare anymore
- Game doesn’t restart automatically
This time I’m using a separate 2D layer (some HTML!) outside of the renderer for the red damage overlay and the “You are dead” message.
I think this hack needs a couple more hours of attention before it’s really fun, but it’s getting there.
