Yeah, and plus I don't feel like I'm spamming people, I know that they want to do it. The Facebook page is just like Youtube, except that its focused only on games, and I don't know if people would prefer to view the videos there (I don't use Facebook really but they host videos too and like it states in the about section, its just a test.) The next post here should be the final version of Pacman!


*Wow, I just got some spam maybe for the admins of Cemetech and I'm not an admin! I don't know if it was an actual user or not.

I didn't finish it last night, here's an updated video:

^that, so awesome

Wow that HUD, I love it (especially the top pic, which fits very well). EDIT: I finally got time to actually watch the vid rather than just see the thumbnail, and I love how true to the original most stuff like the Title screen are. Of course I still notice some differences with ghosts behavior like how they take a long while to come out or how slow they are after being eaten, but still, once fixed this will definitively be a major hit.

I don't think I'll mind the flicker. In fact I might have no choice but to have flicker in some future xLIBC games for speed reasons. Of course, in your case, with ASM it's easier to remove it, but this would mean constantly erasing each sides of sprites, which would take longer and be harder. For speed, I don't mind a little bit of flicker.

On an unrelated note, do you plan to make all your older smaller games DCS-compatible eventually? Since apps are fixed at 16 KB per page but not programs, I thought it might be a nice idea to save space on our calcs, especially the Tunnel game. Not to mention they would show up in the DCS menu as well.

Maybe, but Tunnel is going to go a different route than just a tunnel game. Kerm wants me to make a DCS exclusive so there will be no releases from me after Pacman for a while. I got a few games that I want/started to make and I'll see where they'll go after they're finished. Right now I'm not making games to save space, they are made according to the way I want them to be. I could strip the title, high scores, and such to save a lot of bytes but then they wouldn't have that finished touch in my opinion. In the future as more programs are out, I will reduce them, but I don't think anybody's hurting for space right now! In fact, I plan to release a developers cut of Snake to fit in everything I want! I think I mentioned it but there's a hawk I want to add that chases you after some time, classic mode (user request), and a multiplayer mode with 2 snakes and you can't run into each other (making it kinda like Tron!) I try to stay within one page but I wanted Pacman to be the way it is, with the graphics and such. It pays homage to the original and just makes you say Damn! when you play it! There's one game that I started and it will consume at least half your calcs Flash RAM when its done, no space considerations are being made, its going to be the details that make this game.

Pacman has been released to TICalc.org! Just waiting for it to be accepted!



Now to start a game for the contest, I doubt I'll have anything ready though
