Game to be played on dancemat where you need to defend the human cell from attacking bacteria.
Human character is in the centre of the screen, firing antibiotics in 5 directions at invading bacteria. Use the bottom 3 buttons to select antibiotic. Bugs will start developing resistance, indicated by shields. The spawn rate and movement speed of the bugs, and the rate that resistance builds, depend on the difficulty level chosen on the splash screen.
A windows build (an exe file) is produced automatically for each release.
You can download them from the releases tab in github (on the right hand side).
The game will make a file called bash_the_bug_scores.csv on the desktop to track scores and is used for showing high scores. It tracks player name, difficulty, and score.
- To start afresh simply delete or rename the file
- Only the top players plus the current player get displayed
- After the session is finished open the scores csv and delete the names column to avoid GDPR issues
To add an avatar just add an image file to art/avatars folder. Preferablly they will be PNG or SVG files so that they have transparent background (but jpg/jpeg will also be read).
The image will be scaled to fit a 120x130 box (preserving aspect ratio)
