I tried to give you 5 stars, but it
didn't increment the tally. So unless
PSC can fix that, I'm sorry about that!

WOW! That game-walkthrough was the best
I've ever seen! Great help for newbees!
GREAT WORK!

Thanks for the votes and the comment!
(As well as the attempted vote). :( So
can anyone complete all 5 levels,
without tweaking the code? The AI gets
pretty tough. :)
But mainly, I
really do hope the tutorial gives at
least one person a nice jumpstart. So
are there any newbies out there who
actually find it helpful and learned
something new?

Excellent. But how to make movement of
the pacman is more realistic (smoothly)?
|
9/7/2001 7:15:57 AM:JYoder
Alex -- Not sure I understand what
you're saying. Is the animation not
smooth on your computer? I tested it on
6 different computers, and they all had
very smooth animation, so I'm sorry if
yours doesn't. (Though I never tested
it on a laptop). However, you can play
with the MOVEINCR const and the FPS
(set in the InitializeProgram
procedure) and it may help your
particular machine.

now that is cool .. and the sounds are
icing on the cake

Nice Job!
You may want to make the
ghost move faster than you, and then
when you eat a big $ you move faster
then then.
|

Thanks -- PacMan just wouldn't be the
same without those sounds of
yesteryear! :)
And BTW, for anyone
reading the Tutorial, I should mention
that another reason to not use the
SLEEP api command to slow down Game
Loops, is even though you can use it to
make the speed "look right" on your
machine, it won't be consistent with
other machines. However, using FPS, the
speed will remain consistent for other
computers as well.

Excellent job. Well commented and love
the sound effects!

9/9/2001 1:40:11 PM:Xiaohua
hehe, that's not bill gates :)
great
program! but i think my missile command
story line beats your ;)
|
9/9/2001 4:58:16 PM:JYoder
Xiaohua -- Actually, it really is Bill
Gates, taken from the book cover image
on Amazon.com of "Hard Drive : Bill
Gates and the Making of the Microsoft
Empire." I had to shrink it, and of
course remove some pixels from his
mouth area to give him the PacMan look.
But maybe shrinking took away too much
detail, though I thought he was still
quite recognizable. :(

too basic. the 5 globes are only for
bill gates. he's a *@%$£.
|

Awesome! 5 stars without a doubt. By
far the best example of animation on
the net that I've run across, and I've
been looking. Your tutorial is second
to none as well. Completely impressed,
keep up the good work! I'll be looking
for further work from you in the future.

hi,
anyone tried 2 change the levels
? when i do that then the ghosts can
walt trough the wall but the pacman
cant.. whys that ? and how can i fix
that ?
|
2/18/2002 3:54:47 PM:JYoder
In working with Dean, I found a couple
no-nos with mazes which I'll mention
here. First, a maze must always have 1
one empty space -- that's where PacMan
starts.
And second, there can be no
dead ends. Or put another way, every
pellet must have at least 2 directional
paths to reach it. If you really want
dead ends, you'll need to tweak the
ghosts' pathfinding algorithm.

thnx again for help :).. ill try to
tweak the code... but at the moment im
working on a level editor for it :)..
