Our final project is a first-person shooter game in which the protagonist Ross tries to save his friend Alex from a zombie-infested train headed to Dubai. The player uses a toy gun to aim and shoot in front of projected screen. The player can pull the trigger to shoot or select a button and move the gun around to move the cursor on the screen. We are probably going to use a camera to capture the infrared laser emitted by the gun (we definitely need some technical expertise from Aaron here).
Our game starts with a menu with the title of our game and two options “START” and “ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS”. Click “START”, then a few lines of typewriter effect texts tell the background story. Then a video (or animation) of the last exchange of text messages between Ross and Alex display on the screen (Essentially a cry for help from Alex).
Afterwards, the actual game starts, a train arrives in a station and zombies pop out of windows, doors and top of the train. The player has a certain amount of time to eliminate each zombie by moving the cursor to aim and pulling the trigger to shoot. The player has three lives to start with, and each failure to eliminate a zombie would result in loss of a life. Depending on how much time we have, we might have multiple levels. If the player survives the game (clears all zombies from the train and saves Alex), the player will be congratulated and has the option to restart the game.
