Zombie Snack... a simple game, inspired by some of the dice-roll combat games of years gone by. Eat brains, impress the ladies.
Two buttons..
Button One (digital 2) is EAT, which sends you after your human prey.
Button Two (digital 3) is RUN, which chooses to walk away.
You have fifty hit points to kill and eat as many humans as you can, but humans vary in strength and they fight back! If you reach zero hit points before you walk away, you die.. and score zero brains, no matter how many you had eaten until that point. The goal is simple.. eat as many brains as you can while still having enough health to walk away!
Choose when to EAT and when to RUN carefully!
Press RESET to play again.
Potential future enhancements: Multiplayer, High Score Retention, and Specials (powerups for both Zombies and Humans!)

// --------------------------------
// A Brain-Munching Game for
// Arduino. Program assumes
// 16x2 LCD connected on digital
// lines 7-12, and button switches
// on digital 2 & 3, ideally with
// 10k pulldown resistors (below)
//
// 10k Ohm
// Pin >----+---/\/\/\-------GND
// |
// SWITCH
// |
// +-----/\/\/\-------5v
// 100 Ohm
//
// LCD pins may be changed, but switches
// drive interrupts and must be on pins 2 & 3.
//
// Button connected to Pin 2 : "Eat"
// Button connected to Pin 3 : "Run"
