#include <sstream>
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include "ZombieArena.h"
#include "Player.h"
#include "TextureHolder.h"
#include "Bullet.h"
#include "Pickup.h"
using namespace sf;

int score = 0;
int hiScore = 0;
// For the home/game over screen
Sprite spriteGameOver;
Texture textureGameOver = TextureHolder::GetTexture("graphics/background.png");
spriteGameOver.setTexture(textureGameOver);
spriteGameOver.setPosition(0, 0);
