Escape the Zombie! Michelle Lee, Sean Liu, Sophie Lucy Escape the Zombie is a modern take on the classic game of Hangman. Princess Peach, our damsel in distress, is about to be eaten by a zombie, and it's up to you to save her, by guessing the secret word that stops it! How to run: python Zombiegame.py Architecture: Our game consists of the following components: ZombieGame.py - our main program file zombie.py - our backend functions words.txt - textfile containing the 10,000 most commonly used English words, taken from https://github.com/first20hours/google-10000-english. images - directory containing images we display during gameplay. How it works: We built this game on Python 2.7, with the help of Tkinter and PIL. The game is a simple Tk GUI that indexes a dictionary of English words on initialization, and interacts with the user to create this unique gameplay experience. On initialization, ZombieGame indexes the words.txt dictionary and saves our pre-created gameplay images in the images folder. Once the user selects a difficulty, it picks a random word from the appropriate word length, and continues to update the user's guess and game image accordingly. Once the game is over, i.e. when the user wins or loses, a final win/lose image is written, and the game resets.
