Zombie Outbreak - Beta



This is just a simple zombie shooting game. It has only one screen and zombies will continue to come after you as long as you are alive. You will start with a pistol then other weapons will spawn in time.

The point is to shoot as many zombies as possible before you die. Health packs will spawn every now and then.

I am not a coder and my knowledge in ActionScript is not much. So the game may run slow on some computers, in that case you may try lowering the quality.

I will try to update and modify the game whenever I have time. I would really appreciate your comments, criticism, and bug reports.

I hope you enjoy it. Have fun!

  1. dude,this game is awesome, although yu could make it able to switch weapons by pressing q and e (that would make my life so much easier) also maybe if you have time more weapons like a flamethrower and a multiplayer mode would make this game awesome and a really popular game. Thx!

  8. Not bad for first timer, but i guess you have roots in Java or you would not have been able to make this game. Would you care to share if you got this from a tutorial? Or share the source code(No need to full). I am just a student but i am very keen in Flash. I have made games (My free site got closed down due to the hosting site having errors =X) and was top 20 last year in a Student Based Game Competition...just finish my game for this year, however i have no experience in making this kind of game.

  9. @FE3: Hello! First of all, thank you.
    Actually I'm a graphic designer. I make web sites and such. I don't know Java but I used Director Lingo many years ago. I'm familiar with flash action script because I had to use it for website navigation so many times. But this is the first time I tried to make a game with it.

    As for the source:
    I'm sorry I cannot share the source. Its partially because it will do you more harm than good, its a typical spaghetti code. However I show you where I learned action script enough to make this game.

    http://www.freeactionscript.com/ Has excellent tutorials that you can learn how to control moving of players/enemies and how to handle shooting different kinds of weapons.

    I made this game using action script 2 but I recently discovered Flixel (an awesome game engine that runs in AS3). I'm trying to make my next game with it. And I can tell you its very easy to learn and there are many resources about it. Also tons of source codes that you can learn from.

    And the best of all is that it's free and open source.
    http://flixel.org/

    And you can use it with FlashDevelop (also freeware).
    http://www.flashdevelop.org

    Be sure to visit Flixel's page if you are interested in making flash games. You can find everything you need to start making games there.

    I hope it helps.

  10. Thanks alot Madman, anyway i made my own engine from scratch yesterday, taking about one and a half hours. I have a moving character that can shoot. I planned to make enemies, expecting around 4 hours of hardwork. I have a rough gauge how to do it but for changing weapons i have no idea.

  11. Hello again FE3. I think this tutorial can help you understand how to make different type of weapons and how to change between them:

  12. Having problems with AI Enemies. I trying to think up of a way to make my own AI using different tutorials because on the freeactionscript.com i found a Follow-Run-Curve Follow AI script but cannot integrate it in. Also, i can't destroy the bullet on impact. Would you mind briefly telling me how you would destroy the bullet on impact using the tutorial u asked me to go?

  13. @Evan Tray:
    Sorry for the late reply.
    There is already a function named "destroyBullet" in that tutorial. But is not used on collision with enemy.

    All you have to do is to find "checkEnemyHit" function and type "destroyBullet(_bullet);" after the "destroyEnemy(tempEnemy);" line.

    Hope that helps.
