Pacman For Console
------------------
Okay, so basically, I got tired of enabling flash on my browser so that I could play Pacman.
That, and I was extremely bored one night. So I decided to make my own Pacman... for Console.
Licenseing Information
----------------------
See COPYING for details on the GNU/GPL
Compile/Install
---------------
To make... gee... let's see. type 'make'
To install... type 'make install'
To run...type 'pacman [level_#]' where # is 1-9, for a premade level
OR type 'pacmac [level_file_name]' for a custom level you made
To uninstall... type 'make uninstall'
i.e.:
make && su -c "make install"
pacman 3 # Start @ level 3
pacman /usr/share/pacman/Levels/level07.dat # Play only level 7
echo ":-( I don't like it." && make uninstall # Uninstall :-(
The ASCII art:
--------------
C - Pacman - That's you.
& - Ghosts - Boo.
. - Pellet - Yummy. Collect all of them to pass to the next level.
* - Power pellet - Makes you invincible for a short while.
- Wall - No one can walk through it.
- Blocker - A.K.A. Ghost wall. Only the Ghosts can walk through this.
13 Basics Playing Rules
-----------------------
In case you don't know the rules of Pacman (rules I programmed in), here are most of them
1) Pacman must collect all the pellets of food in the maze. 1 point per pellet.
2) Big pellets make Pacman invincible for a short amount of time.
3) If Pacman touches a ghost without being invincible, he dies and loses 1 life.
4) If Pacman touches a ghost while invincible, the ghost is sent back to its starting point.
5) Points are awarded for each ghost eaten in a row while invincible: 20, 40, 80, 160 (10*2^x).
6) Pacman cannot go through the Ghost Walls (Blockers).
7) Ghosts cannot turn completely around unless there is no other option.
8) While Pacman is invincible, Ghosts will be a bit slower and tend to stay away from him.
9) While Pacman is NOT invincible, Ghosts will tend to come toward him.
10) Pacman starts with 3 extra lives, once all three are gone, the game is over.
11) Extra lives are awarded at 1000 points, 2000, 4000, 8000... (500*2^x).
12) If any character reaches a border of the maze, it will be transported to the opposite side.
13) Each character can only go in one X or Y direction at a time.
