[GijsB]

I made a little demo of zombies attacking people

Add people with left click, Add zombies with right click!

things done

• zombies are green, people are blue
  the zombies and people have diffrent speeds
  the zombies track people
  people run randomly
  when there are no people around the zombies will wander around
  people and zombies bounce against walls
  People dodging zombies(running to other way)
  people and zombies are scaled, based on there speed : fast speed, small body

things to do

• make people turn into zombies(easy to do, to lazy right now)
  make images

Nice.

And a little question for you guys : Dont look at the code, and tell me if it looks like the people are dodging the zombies

For the most part, yes. Although I've seen some people run to the arms of the zombies, when there were very clear paths open.

needs LÖVE 8.0.0

I tried it on 0.7.2 and it seems to work.

Really cool, I like zombies It works mostly, though sometimes people run into zombies for no apparent reason, as kikito said.

that's strange because when i used require() i didnt include .lua in the file path, but i thought that was onlu for 8.0.0 ....

Haha funnily enough i didnt make the people dodge the zombies X3, but when i was looking at it, it kinda looked like there were dodging them

Oh no! More zzzzombies! But wait! Those are only dots.
Nice demo. By the "rounded" zig-zags, the impulses in the walls, and last second caught avoidance I would say that are more parkour guys running from cops.

Using require without .lua should work in any Lua 5.1+ version and any version of LÖVE. The fact that the .lua part was allowed in LÖVE in the first place was a bug/oversight. :p

I'm regularly seeing people run straight into zombies. In fact, that seems to be pretty much the only way they end up dying. So, no, it doesn't look like they're avoiding much at all.

Sometimes they seem to avoid the zombies, sometimes they seem to think the zombies are their long-lost lovers. In other words, it looks completely random.

Randomness can sometimes look like intelligence, but not if it is a matter of life and easily avoidable death.

needs LÖVE 8.0.0

I think that version is still several aeons away. 0.8.0, on the other hand...

Robin, yeah im now making the people so they actually avoid the zombies, instead of lucky changing its direction so it dogdes a zombies

and yeah i failed at the version thing :_:

Edit : oke the people are now dodging the zombies(they just run the other)
