Pac Man by Vic 3 Babes

2007

Based on an old Phillips Console version that I used to love, and which was later updated on the Amiga as the excellent Deluxe Pac Man.

This is just the basic game engine. There are only 11 levels, but I have also provided a level editor which saves the levels as data statements that you can paste - see Pac Man Editor in the Code Archives. It takes - ooh - about a minute to design a level :)

I wrote this for a tutorial - but when I have time, I may actually turn it into a proper game - with the bonus items that appear in the middle like

E - X - T - R - A (collect 'em all for extra life (Mr Do?))
Slow Down
Speed Up
Glue (Freezes ghosts)
Gun (Rack-up big scores)
etc.

---

Each array element has its bits set as follows:

bit 0 - Wall North
bit 1 - Wall East
bit 2 - Wall South
bit 3 - Wall West
------------------------------------------
bit 4 - This array element is Ghost-pen if set
bit 5 - Pill in this square
bit 6 - Power-pill in this square
bit 7 - Chomped ghosts move down here to enter pen at funny x-co-ordinate
------------------------------------------
bit 8 - Pen is North from here
bit 9 - Pen is East from here
bit 10- Pen is South from here
bit 11- Pen is West from here
------------------------------------------
bit 12- Pac Man is North from here
bit 13- Pac Man is East from here
bit 14- Pac Man is South from here
bit 15- Pac Man is West from here
------------------------------------------
bit 16- Warp Square - array elements off sides of screen
bit 17- Illegal - array element is outside play area

---

The AI with regard to the path-finding feels about right - as far as the feel of the older games go - but at one point, instead of compass direction to Pac Man, I had bit 18 onwards holding a value that showed how many squares away Pac Man was. I then got the ghosts to alter the values in the path as they went along - causing ghosts behind them to split-up in a different direction - made the game a lot harder, and made the ghosts look like they knew what they were doing - however, altering the path as they went along also caused it to affect ghosts coming from other directions as well - which wasn't good. For this reason, I took it out - and tried an alternative.

I tried to get the ghosts to set bits 18-21 to indicate that they had entered this square from a certain direction, so that ghosts thinking of entering the square from the same direction might think twice about it, causing them to split-up - whereas ghosts entering from a different direction would be unaffected. Results are encouraging, but it needs more work, because you have to determine how long it should be before those bits are cleared.

---

It was taking 3 milliseconds (2 without debugging) to draw the level, including the walls and pills - so I decided to go oldskool. Since the walls never need redrawing, and only the pill that Pac Man eats needs removing, the code grabs the background before drawing the characters, and then puts it back before moving them. Now takes 0 milliseconds per frame - even with debugging on.

---

You can view path data at any time by pressing the appropriate function key - F9 shows the pre-calculated path back to the Ghost Pen for when a ghost has been chomped (done by the Editor). F10 shows the current path to Pac Man. The code then waits for a keypress - so if you press the same function key again, you can advance the path information. The path to Pac Man is updated every 16 pixels, so that the square that Pac Man is moving into gets set as the new start position for the path. The path isn't updated if Pac Man doesn't move.

You can also turn collision-detection off with F5.

---

Could have used a viewport - but too much mucking about when drawing score and stuff - so black rectangles drawn either side of level to cover characters moving off and on.

---

The final version should use banks for the levels - that way you can warp to certain levels, without having loads of Restore commands in a Select Map Number thingy. Will also use a bank for the path-finding (instead of types).

---

Can't supply the GFX, so had to create them, and take out references to animation frame numbers - oh - and it's better with sound, natch! If you want to add and play sfx, and have suitable wavs lying around, they should be played in the following functions

Dead() - you know the sound
Move_PacMan() - eat pill, and eat powerpill
Check_Collided() - eat ghost noise

Plus any others you might want to add.

The max-multiplier bonus starts at 1000. Each time you complete a level with maximum points, without dying, the max-multiplier is doubled - 2000, 4000, 8000 etc. Die, or fail to get max points, and the max-multiplier goes back to 1000. Maximum points is:

(numpills * 10) + (numpowers * 10) + ((3 ghosts) * numpowers)

Game is probably too fast if your monitor refreshes at more than 60hz - so you'll need to change it to do a flip false on a timer - but looks horribly jittery - I tried it.

I know that one of the ghosts should have rgb values of 255,0,255, but I prefer purple.

And it's good fun to play - but needs joypad support adding.

Very nice work there!

Dustin

2007

Vic's having a little trouble logging in so he asked me to mention that there are 2 bugs. But he'll be posting an update soon with changes in the path finding as well as things like power-ups.

It's a great piece of work in a short amount of code. Looking forward to the update!

2007

Thanks Dustin - AVG seems to be stopping me logging in, so I'm using a different PC.

Although the updated version (available as Pac Man Update) is much better, I thought you might want to know what the bugs were in this one, and how to fix them.

-------------

There is a bug in the move_ghosts() function. Ghosts can normally only ever change direction when they are exactly in the centre of a square - but the one exception to this rule is when they are entering/exiting the ghost pen. This is easily taken care of when entering the pen, and I thought taken care of when exiting, however, if there are no NORTH walls in the two squares above the ghost-pen, and the square on the left if pointing NORTH to Pac Man, then the ghost will start moving North, and will then never change direction, because it will never be aligned with the centre of a square.

This is a quick-fix which works fine - but might not send the ghost in the optimum direction on all occasions. Replace the Else clause at the end of the first IF with the following.

	Else
		If (ghosts\direction=NORTH) And (ghosts\x=176)	;exiting pen
			If ghosts\y=96
				If pacx > 176 Then newdir=EAST Else newdir=WEST
			EndIf
		EndIf
	EndIf

This wasn't a problem in the version that used a count method for the path to Pac Man, because the ghost simply took the path with the lowest count above the ghost-pen (left or right).

-------------

There is a bug in the Select clause at the top of the do_paths() function - nothing serious - in fact I doubt anyone noticed, but you can see the bug if you press F10 and watch the path data when Pac Man moves North or South - though it works for East and West. The focus square for the path-finding is supposed to be the square that Pac Man is mostly in - and so changes when he has moved across or down a square by 16 pixels. In the Select list, the + and - signs for NORTH and SOUTH should be the other way around.

However, the first call to do_paths() at the end of the move_pacman() function is redundant (see below), and can be removed, which means you can change the select in do_paths() to the following.

Select pacdir
Case NORTH ty=py : tx=px
Case EAST tx=(pacx Shr 5) +1 : ty=pacy Shr 5
Case SOUTH ty=(pacy Shr 5) +1 : tx=pacx Shr 5
Case WEST tx=px : ty=py
End Select

-------------

If (pacdir<>STATIC) Or (staticcount=16) Then do_paths()

The first call to do_paths() at the end of the move_pacman() function is redundant (shown above). Although this version sets bits to indicate NESW directions, the previous (and now revised) version stored a count in bits 18 onwards to indicate how many square away Pac Man was. I also had the ghosts altering these values so that ghosts following them would split-up in a different direction. Calling do_paths() reset the paths that the ghosts had altered - but if Pac Man wasn't moving, the call to do_paths() wasn't made, and this had sorts of weird effects.

For this reason, I added the staticcount variable, and called do_paths() if Pac Man didn't move after a certain amount of time. But after changing the code so that ghosts didn't alter the paths, this call became redundant.

The second call to do_paths is the only one necessary - and calls the function whenever Pac Man is 16 pixels across or down the current 32x32 square.

This means you can remove the staticcount variable, and all references to it.

-------------

There is a field in the Ghost Type that is no longer used, so you can remove it, and references to it.

ghosts\chompcount

---------

The fields, xadd and yadd in the Ghost Type can be amalgamated into one variable - pixeladd, and the code altered accordingly. This is because the ghosts only ever move North or South, never both, so there was no need for two variables.

---------

I've got that many different versions of this game that I'm not sure about this one - better check the version that I posted - but

check_collided() called before characters moved in main loop - should be after

---------

The Last level can't be completed. It could be completed with the path recording method used previously - i.e. storing the count of how many squares away Pac Man was in bits 18 onwards - but when I changed it to NESW, it meant that you could no longer lure the ghosts to the right on the final level, before moving off to the left.

Now that I have gone back to the original method of path storing - the last level can be completed in the updated version.

Vic 3 Babes

2007

This is an updated version which goes back to using a count method for the path-finding. The count of how many squares away an array element is from Pac Man's position is stored in bits 18 onwards, and bits 12-15 are no longer usedl.

I've also added a few bonus items. I only posted this because of the bugs in the first version, and won't be posting any more. However you might like to know that I've also added a new power-up to the full version of the game that I've decided to make.

The editor locks certain walls so that you can't draw or erase them - like the warp exits/ghost-pen. The Editor previously removed this information when it exported the data for the game. I've now altered this slightly, and added a new power-up which gives Pac Man ghost-like abilities - i.e. he can pass through walls - but not locked walls, like the perimter etc. The walls are drawn transparently, and flash briefly when Pac Man is returning to normal.

The power-up in the version below though, is just the mega-pill, which automatically chomps any ghosts on the level. You can also collect EXTRA letters for an extra life.
