Description

🧟 Zombie Rush is an intense 2D survival shooter game written in C++ where you must defend against waves of undead!

🫨 Oh no! Zombies are invading the University of Hong Kong! Grab your weapon and defend your campus before it's overrun! Your goal is simple - survive wave after wave of relentless zombies to see tomorrow's dawn.

⁉️ These aren't your ordinary slow zombies - they move with terrifying intelligence, sometimes heading straight for you, sometimes taking unpredictable paths. Carefully aim your shots!

⚔️ Random power-ups will spawn throughout the map - grab them to upgrade your firepower, armor, or health. Think you're good? Try our brutal Hard mode where items don't spawn at all!

💥 With multiple difficulty levels and increasingly challenging waves, Zombie Rush offers endless undead-slaying action. If you love fast-paced shooting games with survival elements, this is your next addiction!

Features Implemented

1. Generation of Random Events (see map.cpp, player.cpp) 😝

• Zombies spawn in random locations each wave

• Zombie movement has random elements while still tracking player

• Power-ups (health, armor, range) spawn randomly when:

  • Killing zombies (higher chance)

  • Moving around the map (lower chance)

• Walls are procedurally generated in different configurations (Straight or horizontal)

2. Data Structures For Storing Data (see game.h, player.h) 📜

• Player struct stores all character stats (health, armor, money, position)

• GameState struct manages:

  • Current map layout

  • Zombie positions (vector of pairs)

  • Coin positions (vector of pairs)

  • Wave progression

3. Dynamic Memory Management (see player.cpp) 🔍

• Vectors used for zombie and coin positions automatically handle dynamic memory

• Efficient memory usage through proper data structure selection

4. File Input/Output (see terminal.cpp) 🗂️

• Terminal state management for real-time input handling

• Game state preserved during gameplay sessions

5. Program Codes in Multiple Files 📚

• Clean separation of concerns across:

  • Core game logic (game.cpp/h)

  • Player mechanics (player.cpp/h)

  • Map generation (map.cpp/h)

  • Terminal handling (terminal.cpp/h)

  • Main entry point (main.cpp)

6. Multiple Difficulty Levels (see game.cpp) 📈

• Three distinct levels:

  Difficulty	Health	Armor	Range	Items available
  Easy	100	50	4	Yes
  Normal	80	30	3	Yes
  Hard	60	0	3	No

  Hard: Only for true zombie slayers!
