Doesn’t seem to work for me. Gets stuck on the “Plague is Loading” screen and then it turns grey. Command line shows

seems like there is a problem loading the sounds :stuck_out_tongue: ill try to fix it but im off soonish to the australian basketball nationals for a week.
Its weird though because it works for me (im on a mac if that makes a difference)

#5

Running Windows 7 (32-bit) here. Graphics card ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3650.

#6

Works for me, but I get a black/white flickering on the very right and very bottom edge. I think I had this before, using a Canvas

#7

The mark/reset error is caused by a Java 7 bug, of which a workaround is explained here.

#8

I had the same problem with the first version. With the new version I am able to start the game, however the flickering which was mentioned above appears (using W7 64Bit).

#9

Yup. The lower right and bottom edges of the screen have a black-and-white flickering.

Other than that though, really fun game! Not too much skill involved but fun to see them get infected :smiley:

If you plan on expanding this maybe you could make different types of “people” to infect, with different infect radii and different death times.

#10

The title looks like it says “PLOGUE” ???

Anyway, ever seen the Pixel Zombies live wallpaper for Android? You could add “hunters” for a challenge.

#11

any ideas how i can stop the flickering i went on ra4king’s link but thats about audio? i think that must of been about something else

Hey guys, i was bored so i spent about half an hour working on the graphics. Its been a while since i’ve worked on this project and looking back over my code is not a pretty sight. Heres what i added:

  • blood splatter
  • vomitting - infected humans will now vomit and when a human who is not infected touches it it will get infected.
