Here you find the main sources of the Atari 8bit Game The Pacmen evolution.
It runs on every Atari 8bit computer with at least 48kb RAM.
To simply start the game, take the ATR image file from the release sub-folder. And use an emulator like atari800 or Altirra. (Links are below)

To build, stay in root folder and execute make from a unix-shell, but there are some preconditions.
On Windows use git-bash. On Linux the bash.
You need some stuff for build from scratch
-
PC with a unix based environment like Linux or Windows with mingw. I prefer Linux.
-
Bash Shell /bin/bash
-
make
-
To build this source from scratch
-
-
OpenJDK 11
-
-
for read/write access to ATR disk images
-
get the ready to use xldir.jar out of the release development build
-
-
-
to compile .wnf files to 6502 assembler
-
get the ready to use wnf-compiler.jar out of the release development build
-
-
-
to compress the level data by RLE & Huffman
-
get the ready to use xl-packer.jar out of the release development build
-
-
atasm the 6502-cross-assembler, to create COM-files out of ASM-files, because the wnf.compiler only creates assembler files. You need at least Version 1.18
-
the ATARIXL.ROM, copy the XL-OS to
../firmwarefolder. -
atari800 Emulator is need. Make it available via $PATH variable.
If you would like to debug the code, use the Altirra Emulator and start make debug on console. In the Makefile find in line 5 the ALTIRRA= expression, set it to your installed Altirra version. Here you can see how to use it with Wine.
