[In Progress] Pacman

[Sk8ierBoi]

I would love to see Pac-Man on my Zune...

I hope it's almost done =D

[ZeroCool2021]

LOL! you should make a setting to change pacman to pacwoman "instead of making another game"
I think it would be funny

That is a reasonable concept. Adding the bow to the corner of the Pacman Sprite is not TOO hard to do... BUT NOT UNTIL the game is functional.

When Will The Game Be Funcional??

[MemphisMasenko]

Sweet works please keep on working on this.
It is a must have for any zune.

[Marshillboy]

Well,

At the moment, movement is partially working...We're having some serious issues with getting pacman to turn corners. Once we get it worked out, added menus, fixed some bugs, fixed up the GUI some...might be release-worthy.

Can you put on another link for others to try it?

unless someone is a genius at C# and can think up something Mars or I have NOT, there is no point getting anyone's hopes up higher than they are. We have one alternative theory, but in order to implement it, we would have to completely re-write the motion code.

Just uploaded some progress pix.

Pacman?! this is awsome. i got a friend that would be pretty stoaked about this. i would love it too. i mean i think the zune is already a billion times better than the ipod, and this would just solidify/ engrave it on the face of the earth

[soccermansince1993]

ok
i think i have an idea on how you could fix the collision mapping
you could create a grid

like so:

Each cell of the grid in this example is 21 x 21 pixels. You could have an array of integers in memory where 0 means you can't enter that cell, 1 means you can, 2 is a regular pill, and 3 is a power pill and 4 means a ghost is in that cell. Something like the following:
int[,] grid = {{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 3, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 3, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 2, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 2, 2, 2, 0, 2, 2, 2, 0, 2, 2, 2, 2, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 1, 1, 1, 4, 1, 1, 1, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 2, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 2, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0},
{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1, 2, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1},

etc.


you could create map editor for your maze game

this would resolve the problem of too tight of spaces and
the dots not being in the right spots

[soccermansince1993]

would that work!

[SimReality]

The grid idea is definitely the way to go for the maze and pills. But I wouldn't bother registering any of the moving objects (ghosts or the player) in it. Do a more accurate collision detection with them since they move around and are likely to be partially inside of multiple spaces.

[ShotgunSnipist]

GAH! Those pics make it looks like it's practically done!!!
Why can't we have the code... =(

[huffy1991]

I can't wait!

[soccermansince1993]

[Noobtube]
