PacMan GE (attempt)

[JamesLeonardo32]

Well, I got bored and made a Pac man clone! I thought so when looking at GE's logo, wondering how few people have attempted to make Pacman on GE.
Here it is:

Please note:
No ghosts,
No fruits,
Crappy level design!

I wonder what it would be like if someone tried to improve on that, since im highly lazy

[Camper1995]

Epic! I like it. Good coding at the movement.

I like the level changing system. Neat!

[JamesLeonardo32]

Im glad someone was able to sit through atleast 1 level! ^ ^

[Romol]

Excellent! This is an original game idea, but you can make a prototype of the original?

[JamesLeonardo32]

Some time. Sometime...

tried adding a ghost but i can't figure out why the ghost is going through maze walls (even after adding collision scripts).

[Jagmaster]

Is there any way to make pacman and the ghosts "snap to grid" so they don't jam on the walls?

[jimmynewguy]

@ trintan
turn repeat collision on
and it would be easier for the ghost to use moveto and avoid the walls rather than collide with them

@jagmaster
yes, but pacman doesn't usually have diagonals!

[Jagmaster]

Sure. I was just trying to figure that out in my head, that's all.

I've tried to do this a couple of times by making triggers to disallow him to move along a certain axis, but that didn't work out well.
(But that was traditional, no diagonals )

twitchy ghost that touches you and send you back to starting location.

the ghost rethinks direction everytime it touches a pellet or a wall so it's a little smarter ghost.

Psstt... linked lists

Learn them and coding AI and movement is faster, also collision detection works better. I wonder how many times I am going to reference these XD

[tintran]

Linked lists? how? have each location link to adjacent locations?

[JamesLeonardo32]

Oh wow, I never expected this much feedback!

I like the tweaks made thus far. + 1 Point tintran!
At the moment I was making a lil update:

Available.. some time!

[EvanBlack]

Linked lists? how? have each location link to adjacent locations?

Exactly

Using nodes for positions on the map, Pac-man would move to grid locations, even placing the balls and random maps becomes easy. Even the AI becomes a lot easier because now the ghosts just go through the linked nodes.

This is also going to be one of my next projects inspired by this thread, but an ISO version using my map editor.

[JamesLeonardo32]

Um, im lost- but thats good because you know what your doing! =D

Anyway, Update!
See top post!
