Description

Since ZombieZ VS CriminalZ is pretty much my first application that features more than not returning an error or drawing circles, I am pretty pleased with it.

The game is pretty simple and made for one or two players.You have two figures to control and an unlimited amount of zombies that will hurt you if they come to close.
You gain points for every kill and additional for multiple kills at once. If you have enough points you will level up and more zombies will spawn.

The coolest thing is propably a paricle-system that makes amazing blood-effects.

I created all graphic (except for one) and also most of the sounds by myself. For everything else look into the credits.
Everything you need to know

The source is a bit messy but I commented a lot. Windows executabel is aviable, too.

Thanks for your feedback, James! :) About your question: I think that my quit-fuction is the cleaner one because it really stop's the program from running while pygame.quit() does not. (http://www.pygame.org/docs/ref/pygame.html#pygame.quit) Also, if you replace pygame.quit() with the 'run' variable in my code, the program returns an error message. About that error message: It's something like "integer expected, got float" isn't it? :D

Thanks Max for sharing this with everyone. I've been looking for tutorials to try to learn PyGame from, and haven't found any good ones yet. But, then I found your game and it has been quite useful in seeing how the code actually works and comes together. Now, I have only started using pygame, and am quite a novice, but I found this code on another tutorial section: while 1: for event in pygame.event.get(): if event.type == pygame.QUIT: running = False pygame.quit () What it does is allow the game to exit gracefully when it is executed from within IDLE. In your code, I believe this is your exit statement: def exit(): global run run=False What I am wondering is, do you know how the first one will affect exiting the game when it is run NOT in an IDLE environment? I am making my first game now and am using the first method for quitting, but I wonder if I should use the second for when the code is made into an executable? Also, all in all, very nicely done on the game. I had fun playing it, and the looks and sounds are good. I have found one bug so far in it, that caused the game to crash, but other than that, works well. I'll see if I can reproduce the bug for you so that I can get the code message so you can possibly fix what is causing it.

hey man, nice concept you have here, i have a similar idea where i have two players with guns, and they compete for who can kill the most zombies, i'll like to include my own sound and get some cool sprites and code help if you could . thanks. #captalex

I would appreciate some feedback, especially for the code.
