AI ZOMBIE GAME

In this game the player needs to escape from a group of artificial intelligent zombies.

The player can control the game by pointing their avatar in the right direction.

The zombies follow the player with a more intelligent search algorithm every level.

The controller contains a webcam that detects the pointer controlled by the player.

In this game, a player is followed through a maze by intelligent zombies. As the level increases every 15 seconds, a more intelligent search algorithm is used by the zombies to chase the player, while the pace of the zombies is also increased. The player can scare the zombies away by grabbing the purple potion, which places the zombies at the other end of the maze.

The program for the game was written in C++ with openFrameworks, supported by the openCV library. First, the search algorithms (Depth First, Greedy and A*) were programmed and subjected to the zombies. With the openCV library and an external webcam, the pointer with which the player controls their avatar is detected and the indicated direction is used by the avatar. When a zombie reaches the player, the game is over; the goal is to survive as many levels as possible.
