Plague - 3.30

Plague is a real-time top down â??rogue-likeâ? arena shooter pitting humans against the zombie horde, inspired by the games Syndicate, XCOM and Gauntlet.

If you want to help with the development of Plague, let me know on the blog site listed below. Code, art, sounds, music, design and testing are all welcome.

In the future Plague will have new features like modifiable â??RPGâ? stats for sims, RTS base building and base defense missions, a day/night cycle, resource management, inventory for sims and the Zombie Plague will continue to mutate as the game progresses. See the To Do lists in the ReadMe for more detail.

Current Features:
-Zoom in and out at anytime to see the level â?? no mini map required -Non-predictable procedural level generation -Vision based on line of sight -AI for all sentient sims -Memory based on what was last seen. -2D physics engine powers object interactions and motion -Finite element modeling of explosions, fire, etc -Fire modeling that allows objects to catch on fire and be destroyed -Lots of firearms, concussion and incendiary grenades, Molotov cocktails

Changed shadowing algorithm - removed artifacts, nice clean code
bugfix: shrubs now leave behind burnt shrubs when burnt - not sure when I broke this
bugfix: AI sims try to pick up guns (again)
bugfix: AI sims now switch weapons if they run out of ammo (again)
tidied for world.add_sim so that force is used where appropriate, and other checks removed
added a key (j) so you can see the new shadow maps - I think they are kinda cool (and they were good for debugging) .
