It's zombies outside but unfortunately we still got work :/

Complete deliveries to earn money to buy upgrades to defend yourself from the hoards. Work til you drop. Why do I do this job again?

Brief how-to:

• WASD to move + LMB to attack
• Esc/P to pause, Esc when paused to quit, P when paused to unpause, F to toggle fullscreen (warning: may not work)
• E to interact
• Pick up deliveries at the Depot (lower left) and deliver to the house indicated by the arrow
• Complete deliveries to earn money. The game reports time survived, deliveries completed, and total lifetime earnings at game over
• Spend you money at the Depot on Health, Speed, and Attack upgrades

Tips:

• When a healthbar turns yellow that's i-frames, time your swings accordingly
• You may interact with the depot and any address you have a delivery for
• The arrow points in the direction from your character to its current goal (not necessarily pointing AT the goal)
• You will be unceremoniously dumped into the world at startup
• The zombie level only increases
• Newly spawned zombies' stats scale with the zombie level, as does the target number of zombies to spawn
• You can't win, life ends in death (or zombification)

Notes:

• Wish I could've gone more in depth with the systems. I've never made a simulation like this and had a lot of fun. The goal was to have more unique item types and bonuses, and a more engaging difficulty curve. But time is what it is.
• There is exactly one sound in this game (which I think is a new record for me?!), it will play the first time a weapon hit occurs and never after that. Don't know why (I added audio in the last 45 minutes).
• No engine gang
• Linux and windows builds should hopefully just work out of the box. If that's not the case please let me know what error messages and/or what the console output of the program is (please run from a terminal if you have trouble running directly. needs to run from executable directory to get the asset and library paths right)

Libraries used:

• GLFW3
• glad
• glm
• stb_image
• portaudio
• vorbisfile

The project uses meson to build. glad and stb_image are included directly in the repo. portaudio is included as a git submodule (need to run git submodule init). glfw, glm, vorbisfile (+ogg +vorbis) are linked in either from a system-wide install or use meson wraps as a fallback. should just work by running meson setup

ideal build steps: - clone the repo linked below, use --recurse-submodules - run: meson setup build - run: meson compile -C build - binaries are now present in the build/ directory. on linux you can just cd build && ./ld53. For windows you will need to copy in the dlls from their subproject paths, or just use the windows tar below which includes all the dlls
