Our final project was inspired by a recent Korean zombie movie called “Train to Busan”. We localized the title and changed the storyline.
One day Ross receives a text message from Alex: Alex is stuck in a train and surrounded by zombies. The player, as Ross, has to pick up a gun and save his friend from dying from zombies.
Alex was mainly in charge of the game mechanics and Ross was mainly in charge of the art design and hardware.
The making of the game wasn’t easy. We had to keep multiple versions/drafts in the process of making this game because we want to work on the game at the same time on two different machines. After Alex finishes part of the code, he has to copy and paste onto the code on Ross’ computer to make sure it works. Sometimes it can be confusing as a single line of code missing would result in the whole program not working.
Thanks to Aaron’s help with the ps3eye library and the setup of the camera, the computer vision part was not very difficult. We just had to adopt the existing program to our game.
The hardware and communications between arduino and processing proved to be quite frustrating. Sometimes we had to unplug and plug the USB to make sure processing reads input properly. It was probably simply because of the faulty port on Ross’ computer. The button was broken quite a few times as players stepped on the wire or push too hard on the button. It would be ideal if we had longer wires or made it wireless.
The gameplay could be improved as well. If we had more time, we would have designed more levels with different kinds of zombies as well as a more proper ending to the story.
Here are the codes:
class Zombie{
boolean direction;
int counterImg;
float locx, locy;
PImage img1;
Zombie(float x, float y, boolean dir){
locx = x;
locy = y;
direction = dir;
}
void displayImages(){
this.update();
if(frameCount % 10 == 0){
counterImg++;
}
pushMatrix();
//if(!direction){
// translate(img1.width,0);
//}
if(gameover == false){
img1 = zombieImages1[counterImg % 4];
if(!direction){
scale(-1, 1);
image(img1,-locx, locy);
}else{
//scale(1, -1);
image(img1, locx, locy);
}
}
popMatrix();
}
void update(){
if (frameCount % 10 == 0){
if(direction){
this.locx += 10;
}else{
this.locx -= 10;
}
}
if (frameCount % 120 == 0){
this.direction = !direction;

}
}

locy = y;

//if(!direction){

}
}

}
void update(){

this.locx -= 40;
}
}
if(frameCounter % 25 == 0){
tempVar++;
println(tempVar);
if(tempVar % 4 == 0){
this.direction = !direction;
}
}
}
}
class ZombiePeek{
boolean direction;
int counterImg;
float w, h, locx, locy;

}

//image(img1, locx, locy, width/w, height/h);
if(frameCount % 20 == 0){

}
pushMatrix();

}
