PacSim by Marcus Version 1.0 1989 ---------------- ---------------- Well here it is. I wanted to add some more features to the program but I kept putting them off so long I decided to release it 'as is'. This is another (just what I needed you say?) Pac Man type game. I have seen some other Public Domain games of this type and I think this is definately one of the best. It features multichannel sounds, drop down menus, joystick or keypad control, a built-in maze editor, scoring, etc. etc. etc. There are a couple of features I would like to mention. For one, the maze editor may seem a little strange at first but it works logically. The Ghost shapes, for example, are cycled as they are painted. Also, the program expects there to be a 'maze00.dat' file in the current dir. If there isn't one - don't expect much to happen. Every game starts with this maze and increments by one to the next (maze00.dat, maze01.dat... maze02.dat, ... maze99.dat). Scoring works this way: 1 point per dot, 5 points per power pill, ghosts 100, 250, 800, 1000. When the score is more than 5000 a new man is given and the score is set back to zero. Of course there is a CHEAT mode which proved so useful in debugging the program that it seemed like a great idea to leave it in. If you want to report BUGS I can be reached E-MAIL on: AmAz!
