FPS game: Left 4 Life

[suede]

Hi.
I've decided to show you my project I've made for college assignment.
It has no in-game GUI for options whatsoever, because I was running out of time, so every option can be changed only via config file.

Game is about killing enemies, which spawns randomly and are constantly going approaching to player position. Each kill adds points for killing one. After kill, enemy is re-spawned and its level is increased, which means, that its speed and kill points are increased.
You can play in three different stages of lightening, which could be changed whenever you want. In every stage there's different score multiplier.

Player has health and energy. Energy is decreased whenever you run or shoot, but it regenerates over time. Flashlight decreases regenerate rate by 50%.

10 best highscores are downloaded and displayed in game.
If you get highscore, it's uploaded to my server.

I think that's it about gameplay.

Libraries I used:
Irrlicht 1.7.3
IrrKlang
cURL
Grass Node by bitplane
Settings File Reader by torleif (slightly modified)

Time for screenshots:
Since i can't use url tag, here is the preview:


And here are actual screenshots:

Edit: Video and some sreenshots aren't up to date at the moment, beacause everything that wasn't, now is taken from the free sources.

Very nice screenshots and video. Simple idea, but seems to be the right mix for a quick casual game.

Be careful about using images, textures, models, sounds or music from other games
It is illegal.

Notice before you continue on with the game.

Indeed very nice.

About using images, textures, etc. from other games - not in all cases it's illegal, that depends on a game's licensing. Also, that depends... on humans. I don't think that ID Software will be chasing somebody for using a model from their game made 15 years ago

[Mel]

don't rely on that either... in some cases, plagiarism is better than piracy

[suede]

About the model, I found it at some site with free models.
About the rest, the idea was to make fun of it, not use it commercially or so. But if you're saying that's illegal, I will change it.
Thanks for the information!

Are you talking about the enemy or the gun? I didn't play Doom that much..

[suede]

Enemy. Gun is from Irrlicht example.

[GameDude]

That's pretty cool, even if it is simple.

[Mel]

The gun comes from Quake II ^^U

[suede]

Didn't play it. I know it only from example 21.

The game is entertaining, good job

I just want to warn people before it's too late.
Although it is free game, you must ask permission to the company that developed the game.

PD: Why not create a scenario with obstacles?

I've already changed that, so that now it's made only from free sources.

What do you mean by that?

Hi... the downloaded file from https://code.google.com/p/left4life is corrupted..

Please re-upload them.

It's fine with 7-zip, but I guess compression method could be the problem here. I'll upload zip version as soon as possible.
