SdlZombies

# SdlZombies SdlZombies is a game about tricking zombies into falling into holes. It starts simple, but the zombies gradually move faster and harder to outmaneuver. The game is based on a very old game that ran on the ZX81 (Sinclair). --- ## Version **1.0.0 Release 3** — ArcaOS / OS/2 SDL2 port --- ## Platform ArcaOS 5.x / OS/2 Warp 4.5 (32-bit) --- ## License GNU General Public License v2 — see `COPYING`. --- ## Authors - Original game: Philippe Brochard - OS/2 initial port: Dave Yeo - SDL2 migration (Release 3): ArcaOS community --- ## Requirements The following libraries must be installed via **ANPM** before building or running: | Package | Version | |---|---| | SDL2 | 2.x | | SDL2_image | 2.x | | SDL2_mixer | 2.x | | GCC | 9.2 (RPM: gcc) | The build also requires **Open Watcom** (`wl.exe`) on the PATH for the WLINK linker backend used by the `emxomfld` wrapper. --- ## Building Open an OS/2 command prompt in the game directory and run: ``` compile.cmd ``` This sets the required `EMXOMFLD_*` environment variables and invokes `make -f makefile.os2`. On success the executable `sdlzomb.exe` is produced in the same directory. To clean object files: ``` make -f makefile.os2 clean ``` --- ## Running ``` sdlzomb.exe [options] ``` Double-clicking `sdlzomb.exe` from a Workplace Shell folder also works. The game window opens at **960 × 720** pixels (1.5× the 640 × 480 logical resolution). All game graphics are scaled to fit. ### Command-line options | Option | Description | |---|---| | `-f`, `--fullscreen` | Start in fullscreen mode | | `-w`, `--window` | Start in windowed mode | | `-ns`, `--nosound` | Disable sound | | `-s`, `--sound` | Enable sound | --- ## Controls | Key | Action | |---|---| | Arrow keys | Move the penguin | | Mouse | Move the penguin (when mouse mode active) | | `K` | Toggle keyboard / mouse control | | `M`, `Ctrl` | Cycle map display (none → transparent → under → over) | | `S`, `Shift` | Cycle sound volume (none → low → medium → high) | | `F` | Toggle fullscreen / window (in-game key) | | `Alt`+`Enter` | Toggle fullscreen / window (works in all screens) | | `P`, `Space` | Pause / unpause | | `Escape` | Quit / back to menu | --- ## Options file When the game starts it reads and saves settings to `sdlzombies.dat` in the game directory. To reset all options to their defaults, delete this file. --- ## Links - Original game page: http://hocwp.free.fr/sdlzombies.html - ArcaOS Port: https://github.com/OS2World/GAME-SDL-ACTION-sdlZombies
