Survive Survive • A first person shooting game prototype. This game mixing computer and “natural” game characteristics.
• The aim of the game is to shoot your enemy before he will do that to you…
• Due to time constraint this prototype wrote with MATLAB and it works with laptops, but it can be written with JAVA and work on other mobile devices as well.
