SFML is required to compile
I had made Pacman for my final and the collisions only sort of worked. I felt like I needed to redo it. It is very different than the original, but I fixed the collisions in 5 minutes.
- Use WASD or the arrow keys to change directions. For shared mode WASD controls player 1 and the arrow keys control player 2.
- Use numbers 1 - 9 to change the lighting scale (I can't tell the difference past 7).
- Pacman has a light and cannot see the ghosts until they are close.
- The yellow bar at the top shows the remaining dots, because the dots are hard to find when you can't see the whole map.
- Portals glow faintly, and light up at full brightness when all dots are eaten.
- The powerups provide invincibility for 5 seconds and Pacman moves at 10 speed.
- After all of the dots have been eaten, Pacman still needs to go through a portal to get to the next level.
- When a ghost catches Pacman, Pacman becomes invincible for 3 seconds and all ghosts move at 1 speed. Only the ghost returns to its starting position.
- When a ghost is targeting Pacman, the view will fade into red.
- Bonus points are awarded for not being seen by the ghosts.
- All speeds and timings stay the same as more levels are completed. Only the map changes. The original pacman map is first, then a random map is chosen. After all maps have been beaten or a map fails to load, the error map is created.
- The ghosts only come in two types, Chasers and Signalers (Maybe more types later).
Count: 3
Chaser ghosts pick a random position on the map. If the position is valid, the ghost will move to it. Chaser ghosts move at 4 speed to get to their first position, then can chase Pacman.
Chaser ghosts move 5 speed when targeting Pacman and move at 8 speed when they have a direct line of sight with Pacman. Chaser ghosts can only track Pacman for 2 seconds.
Count: 1
Signaler ghosts always target Pacman, but move at 3 speed. If the Signaler ghost has a direct line of sight with Pacman, all other ghosts will target Pacman for 5 seconds.
The supported image formats are bmp, png, tga, jpg, gif, psd, hdr, pic and pnm. (Formats SFML supports 2.6.0)
Only the left half of the map will be read because Pacman maps are symmetrical.
The right half of the map is not required for reading.
Portals are not required, but the map cannot be completed. Portals are holes in the side of the top, bottom, or left sides of the map.
