PAC-MAN


Download

Neat little idea I had for a MUGEN character. The gameplay is based on the origonal Pac-Man: You run around eating pellets/the opponent while avoiding ghosts/the opponent or else you die.

UPDATE 1/30/14:

Wow, this is brilliant! Is there someway you might be able to nerf the opponent to only be able to walk somewhat slowly?

Okay this is awesome.

Have you considered turning it into a mini-game? (Like building a stage with a maze to go along with it?)

Error, can't load SFF file.

Is this for 1.1 only? Cause tested this on 1.0 and got that error.

EDIT: Tested on 1.1, works fine. :)

Pac Man seems to move too fast. Maybe have some options to change his speed? Or at least have him go a little slower.

I'll see if I can find a balance where he can be slowed down without being a sitting duck for his opponent.  And yes, it's 1.1 only, although I'll see if I can scratch that out in a future update. I haven't been on the MUGEN scene in a while, so I assumed 1.1 was the new hip thing that everybody switched to.

Okay this is awesome.

I might consider making a seperate character that can have anyone (including Pacman) run around the maze and essentiall behave like the origonal Pacman.

I'd be something akin to this crude photoshop:

^ Oh god, that looks so amazing.
This is how you recognize a character is polished or not : when small details are taken care of to provide the best experience possible.

Character has been updated to Beta v2. Although there are a few more things I want to get done, I felt like there were a big enough changes to warrant a release.

Changelog:

NEW:
-No longer 1.1 exclusive - Now compatible with MUGEN 1.0.
-Added a black border so the sprites don't blend into the background as much.
-Ghost sprites now properly look towards the direction their going.
-Added a mini-game mode where the ghosts and pellets are disabled.
-Holding start when picking a palette enables Ms. Pac Man Mode.
-Added a rather buggy, unfinished AI.



BALANCING:
-Pac Man's speed has been halved.
-Ghosts can now only change direction every 20 tics to compensate, rather than 15. Shouldn't be too noticable, but it makes some split-second manuevers possible again.
-Pac Man now has infinite priority.
-The Ghosts now spawn at different times:
--Blinky when the player makes their first move.
--Pinky when the enemy is damaged once.
--Clyde when the enemy looses 1/3 of their health.
-The ghosts now have a 1 second delay before chasing after Pacman.
-Blinky will no longer scatter once the opponent reaches 25% health. (AKA "Cruise Elroy mode.")
-Pacman is immune to the ghosts when the AI is playing. (For now).

BUG FIXES & POLISHING:
-Touching a ghost the second pacman wins the round no longer triggers the death animation.
-Now has proper required sprites.
-Fixed Debug spam that resulted from eating ghosts or picking non-existant palettes.
-Fixed Pacman's sprite shifting over a pixel when the round ends.
-Pac Man now plays the death animation when loosing by Time Over.
-Touching a ghost in training mode now causes the ghosts to back off.
-Removed that 'pop' from the ambient music.
