Burning Pac Man Game for PC

Mister Jellyfish Mister · Post by **Mister Jellyfish Mister** » Thu Feb 03, 2005 9:52 am

As a gift for all, I'm arting up a pac man game for the PC. MiniMan will chomp around different playa screens picking up water, beer, sex, moop, etc. My little dancing avatar is an expample of his possible moves. When it's done I'll post a download link here so everybody can play, compare scores here, etc. Sound fun?

Want to contribute? Post some url links and/or permission to use your:

- 32x32 pixel or smaller sprites or short animations. (some avatars might be great for this)
- Midi music
- small, short .wav sounds
- GameMaker6 files
- Ideas

I'll be sure to give you credit on a game that might travel the world for free.

Sounds like a great idea - Pac Man rocks!

GREAT. I want to try it

Right on, thanks, Virgin and Headband. Got any tiny sounds or images you want me to pump it with?

Rather than wait for everything to be perfect, here's a link to download the beta version of the Burning Pac Man game:

Please offer any advice, comments, sound, or picture files you think would help the advanced levels.

Enjoy!

*Bump* What's your high score?

That's so cool. I'm downloading it right now.
Thank you, you rock. What a nice gift!
I'll let you know my high score once I finally get one...be warned though, I'm not too good at pac man. Maybe this is a bit different though.

How fun.

Thanks, Souldancer. What's going on with you as you get ready for the burn?

I'm going crazy with anticipation! That's what's going on! Two and a half months...ahhhh, can I make it?? Yeah, I suppose I'll have to. Gotta by lots of gear still, so that will take plenty of time. Plus I've got a pretty busy summer coming up, the next two months should actually fly by.

Hey Jellyfish,

I couldn't get the program to work. It says my backbuffer is full. Which it could be I suppose, except my laptop doesn't really have a problem with full on large CD-rom games.

Hey, Pupperdog. I don't know. I barely built the game so I'm useless for tech support. Try it on a different computer?

I know a guy who was talking about doing a RL version of pacman in Oakland, which could be converted to playa. Set up a 'map' for the maze, monitor everyone's position w. gps, and hand them all walkie talkies to let the 'ghosts' know if a power pellet has been eaten, etc. (Base the ghosts in center camp?) Picture some guy in a giant yellow pacman costume running around with a casette player on continual loop going 'wakkawakkawakkawakka'...

Now that is brilliance.

Yeah,

whatever happened with this project? I thought it was prommising.

thanks for bumping it mister.

Ok now I downloaded it. Thanks again.

hey, are there any ideas for the game to become networked?
It would be nice to play with other burners online.

I can not get this to execute.
I get a message that I'm missing a DLL file.

Sorry. Works on some computers. May conflict with other programs. You're mileage may vary. Ask your doctor if Burning Pac Man is right for you.

MikeVDS · Post by **MikeVDS** » Fri Dec 29, 2006 8:35 pm

Works great on my work (eh he) computer running windows XP. I got 4000 something today. Still looking for any images or sounds?

gyre · Post by **gyre** » Fri Dec 29, 2006 8:46 pm

I have windows 98se on here.
Does anyone know if that is the problem?
I'll be putting a mac with os 9 into use soon.
It's a playa gift actually.

Mister Jellyfish Mister · Post by **Mister Jellyfish Mister** » Fri Dec 29, 2006 8:50 pm

The Windows 98 might be the thing. That's a pretty old OS by tech standards but has its advantages. I'm distracted by other project right now so not really collecting new images, but thanks. Look you up if I get inspired again?

I've got to go and learn visual basic so we can get to programming the monkey for the U-Me project. It will be fun to learn something new and only the monkey will laugh at my mistakes.

MikeVDS · Post by **MikeVDS** » Sat Dec 30, 2006 1:43 pm

I just downloaded it on my windows 98 machine and it works fine. I have the "unofficial service pack" installed on it, which I recommend if you're still running 98 though back-up your files before installing it. It's never given me a problem, but you never know. It fixes a lot of old bugs and fixes the problem of it incorrectly using more ram than 64 megs.

And yeah, if you're looking for new sounds etc I'd be glad to help. It's a cool little game. My g/f just walked in as I was trying it out and laughed her ass off, thinking it was great. I like to make little things like that in my spare time.

Works great for me here as well. Thanks for the boredom killer while I wait for my gf to walk in from work!

Does it work on mac os X? I'd love to see it...

Mister Jellyfish Mister · Post by **Mister Jellyfish Mister** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 7:58 am

Nope. But I'll bet you can find SOMEBODY who owns one of those coveted PC's! 9-)

CO, you might be able to use WINE to get it to work on MacOS.

I find that wine makes everything better.

If you got one of them used console games for Pac-Man, how would you re-program it? A kewl thing to bring to da playa, ne?

MikeVDS · Post by **MikeVDS** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 11:11 am

Depends on how old it is. The real old ones are "coded" with just their logic board. So you could make a new board, or more easily, just install a PC and monitor into it to make it look original.

Mister Jellyfish Mister · Post by **Mister Jellyfish Mister** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 7:12 pm

What Mike said, and install some of the copied software roms from the original game and run on a pc platform like this one:

K-mom · Post by **K-mom** » Fri Jan 05, 2007 8:11 pm

Now that is a cool fucking idea. Place it just on the outskirts of your camp and maybe disguise/camouflage the extension cord going back into your camp - that way people would come upon a random arcade game powered mysteriously, not to mention the game is BM specific.
Incidentally, this brings to mind something I wondered about out on the playa this year - a pool table. I read a thread from a couple of years ago from a guy who brought out a table with the felt engaved w/ the Man's logo. Does anyone know if this still makes the trip out there, either in 06 or coming up this year?
