Pacman Clone Pre-Alpha [Update #5; RC #1; WIP]

[Sot0]

I fixed the Speed of the Game, its now very close to the Original i would say. It was actually a lot easier than i had thought, Rodot did a really great Job with the Library!

Next things to do are the Maze and the Ghost AI.

When the Exam is over on wednesday, i will upgrade my arduino Clone with some buttons and then hopefully be able to update Capnam.

Implemented a basic maze structure, i think i will make a remix of the Original paacman Maze so that everything fits in 84x48 pixels without scrolling.
I have not implemented collision detection, so capnam can walk through walls

Looks good man. I've hit a problem though, I tried to get it to work on the emulator and the ghost goes a little bit down the screen and freezes. I looked but couldn't find the problem (it may be really apparent but I only breezed through). I'm just telling you now so that you don't get far along and have to go hunting for what is causing the problem.

The game looks awesome though! Can't wait to see it on the Gamebuino screen!

Did you move capnam? Because if you dont move him, he doesnt get drawn and the ghost will move to his position in order to catch him and will stay there. But thanks for the Feeback!

My Gamebuino just arrived, so i hope i will get to programming in the next days

Thanks Rodot!

You should get it running as fast as possible, then artificially slow it down using delay().

DO NOT DO THAT
Everything is timed using gb.update(). It manages sound, buttons, stable frame rate and everything. If you put a delay somewhere in your code it will just hang there.

Great, good luck with programming!
PS: you should lower the size of your pictures to a width of about 600px, the you can add them as an attachment and display them inline instead of linking to an external host.

I know i wont use delay().

Yes i know i should make it smaller, but i was in a hurry
