Covid-Time 🦠

A Unity-based 2D game that simulates the spread of COVID-19 and the importance of wearing masks during the pandemic. Players control a character who must navigate through a world where coronavirus particles spread, and wearing a mask becomes crucial for survival.

🎮 Game Overview

Covid-Time is an educational game that demonstrates the real-world impact of mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Players experience:

• Virus Spread Simulation: Watch how coronavirus particles spread through cough particles
• Mask Protection: Experience the difference between wearing and not wearing a mask
• Health Management: Manage your character's health as they encounter virus particles
• Educational Value: Learn about the importance of protective measures

🚀 Features

Core Gameplay

• 2D Top-Down Movement: Smooth character movement using joystick controls
• Health System: Real-time health tracking with visual health bar
• Mask Mechanics: Collect masks from pharmacies to protect against virus particles
• Virus Particles: Dynamic cough particle system that spreads the virus
• AI Pathfinding: Infected characters use A* pathfinding to chase the player

Technical Features

• Unity 2019.3.10f1: Built with Unity's 2D system
• A Pathfinding*: Advanced AI navigation using the A* Pathfinding Project
• Particle Systems: Realistic cough particle effects
• Mobile Controls: Touch-friendly joystick controls
• Spine Animation: 2D skeletal animation support
