Survival Shouter

Survival Shouter is a modification of the popular Survival Shooter game demo by Unity Technologies (https://www.assetstore.unity3d.com/en/#!/content/40756).

How to play

You will have to download and install Unity 5 (https://unity3d.com/get-unity) and then open this folder as a Unity project. Then open Assets\_CompletedAssets\Scenes\Level 01 5.x.unity and hit the play button at the top of the Unity editor. Only Windows (both 32-bit and 64-bit) is currently supported.

You have to play within the Unity editor because the Unity player for standalone builds has problems with plugins that depend on other plugins. Therefore, prebuilt executables for this game are not provided until we find a workaround.

Survival "Shouter" adds "shouting" (ie, a speech recognition element) to the top-down shooting gameplay of the original. Most of the controls are the same as the original: you move with WASD, use the cursor to aim, and left-click to shoot (this version does not currently support mobile platforms). In addition, you can use the following voice commands to set a bomb:

"Bombs away!"
"Set bomb"
"Blow them up!"
"Boom!"
(or something else with the word "bomb", "blow", or "boom" in it)

Note: bombs hurt (a lot). We recommend you run away after setting one.

Technology

This game uses the speech recognition library pocketsphinx, which is a part of CMU Sphinx. splistener is our C++ plugin that manages the pocketsphinx backend and allows Unity to access the recognized speech data. The C# scripts that have been added for this version of the game are found in Assets/Scripts/Shouting. For more functional details, see the file specs.pdf.

Note: for this application, it makes sense to use keyword spotting mode (kws) instead of the full default language model (kws would try to recognize only the specified voice commands instead of full english grammar, making it more efficient for our purposes). A file keywords is in the Assets folder that can be used for kws. However, kws has been temporarily disabled because it has been found to cause splistener to crash. Until this issue is fixed, the default build uses the full english language model. If you want to try kws, replace the null in the second argument of spInitListener in the Awake() function of Assets/Scripts/Shouting/BombShout.cs with Application.dataPath + "/keywords" and then run the game.
