In the Zombie Arena project, I built a survival shooter game where the player must fend off waves of zombies from a top-down perspective. The game features power-ups, weapon upgrades, and increasingly challenging enemy waves.
Key Points:
- AI for Enemy Behavior: I learned to create AI for enemy behavior, including pathfinding and attack patterns for the zombies.
- Managing Multiple Game Objects: I managed multiple game objects efficiently, such as the player, zombies, bullets, and power-ups.
- Scoring System: I implemented a scoring system to track the player's progress and provide feedback on their performance.
- Advanced Collision Detection: I tackled more complex collision detection and response, ensuring accurate interactions between the player, zombies, and bullets.
- Game Optimization: I applied game optimization techniques to ensure smooth gameplay, even with many active game objects.
Throughout these projects, I used the SFML (Simple and Fast Multimedia Library).W hich is a cross-platform library designed to provide a simple interface to various multimedia components in C++. SFML is particularly useful for game development due to its simplicity and ease of use.
Key Features:
- Graphics: Rendering shapes, sprites, and text. SFML makes it easy to draw 2D graphics and handle basic animations.
- Windowing: Creating and managing game windows. SFML provides a straightforward way to create windows and handle events such as resizing and closing.
- Audio: Playing sound effects and music. SFML supports various audio formats and allows for easy playback and control of sounds.
- Input: Handling keyboard, mouse, and joystick input. SFML simplifies the process of capturing and responding to user inputs.
