Zero Signal

Zero Signal is a self-contained browser FPS where the player enters a ten-combatant arena and fights to become the last survivor. It includes multiple operators, weapon loadouts, themed maps, pickups, grenades, and bots that move and fight independently.

About the game

I built Zero Signal to experiment with first-person rendering, game AI, weapon balancing, and responsive controls without using a game engine. The entire game runs in a desktop browser using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and the Canvas API.

The objective is simple: enter the complex, eliminate the other nine combatants, and survive. There are no respawns.

Features

• Offline single-player matches with nine AI-controlled opponents
• Bots that patrol, strafe, pursue targets, seek cover, and fight each other
• Enemy spawn points distributed throughout the map, including hidden corners
• Five operators with distinct visual styles
• Five primary weapon choices with different damage, fire rate, range, and ammunition
• Three maps with different layouts, colors, lighting, and sightlines
• Knife, bandages, grenades, ammunition, armor, and item pickups
• Shotgun pellet spread with individual pellet trails
• Visible grenade throwing, bouncing, and explosion effects
• Minimap, health, armor, ammunition, elimination counter, and kill feed
• Aim-down-sights, reloading, sprinting, crouching, and mouse-wheel gear selection
