Wardrox VS Halfleft Battledrome Round 7: Left 4K Dead

We can’t quite afford to buy every reader a copy of Left 4 Dead yet. Until then we will make-do with Left 4k Dead, which is exactly the same as Valve’s multiplayer zombie-fest in every way (give or take).

The Java4k site challenges people to write java games clocking in at less than 4 kilobytes. For such a harsh limit the quality of the games is very impressive.

The simplicity of the game somewhat works against us in regards to keeping track of scores. As zombie placement is random I think it should be fair to use zombie kill-count as the score we will be comparing. In the event of you actually being good at games, and managing to eliminate all the zombies in a stage, write the number down and add it to the kill count of the next room.

Bear in mind that stepping into the red rooms will instantly take you to the next level without giving you a chance to record your score before it resets. As usual, leave your scores in the comments and the most impressive (see: worrying) scores will be read on the NGCast.
