🎮 Gameplay Mechanics

Wave System

The game starts after a 60-second countdown.
Players begin with 500 points.
Each wave spawns 6 + (wave × 6) zombies.
Zombies have 1 heart + 0.5 heart per wave.
15% chance for zombies to spawn with random armor.
There is a 10-second cooldown between waves.

Point System

+100 points per zombie kill
Points are used to:
Buy weapons (cost depends on the crate)
Buy ammo (cost per type is configurable)
Open doors (cost per door is configurable)

Death & Respawn System

When a player dies, they enter “Waiting” mode.
They automatically respawn at the end of the current wave.
Their points are preserved.
If no players are alive: GAME OVER.

Doors & Zones

Doors block access to new areas.
Opening a door activates additional zombie spawn points.

Each chest can contain multiple weapons.
The obtained weapon is random (animated roulette).
If only one weapon is configured, no roulette animation (static display).
