Abstract
Code vs Zombies is a fusion of tower defense, puzzle, survival, and educational games, designed to make learning computer science into an exhilarating and immersive experience. By seamlessly integrating entertaining gameplay with real-world problem-solving scenarios, Code vs Zombies serves as a unique educational tool that caters to both gaming enthusiasts and coding novices. In this survival/tower defense game, players are not only tasked with fending off zombies that are trying to make their way inside the shelter but are also challenged to solve coding puzzles to fix and upgrade their defenses and ensure their survival. The constant threat of zombie attacks adds a sense of urgency and a layer of intensity, compelling players to think on their feet and apply concepts in a practical and time-sensitive manner.
