Surrounded by Zombies

Brick Redux

Heres something I knocked up in 2 hours that was inspired from an old CPC type-in game.  The CPC version had you avoiding smily faces that homed in on you in 8x8 pixel steps. 

My code gives you pixel by pixel approaching hordes that rotate to always face you.  The code could be adapted to display a tank or car very easily.

For fun Ive given the player a gun so that you can shoot them all down.  The sprites included have no transparency folks. 

Hope someone finds it useful.


LEFT/RIGHT cursors to rotate the player. UP cursor to move forward & SPACE to fire.
