A Winter Remix of Namco's game Pac-Man. Collect all of the ice crystals (pellets) to win while dodging the enemy. This game is portrait so hold your iPad the way the score is written. So far only has one enemy and one life, but the rest will come soon. Please comment if you find an error and if you can what you were doing before the error occurred.
PROJECT DESCRIPTION

VERSION 1.6
Last Updated: September 21, 2022
All 4 ghosts now chase you in the maze and you have 5 lives, but there are still a lot of glitches that I don't think I can fix, I don't even know how they can happen. So I will either give up entirely and leave it like this or eventually I might delete and re add the ghosts because they have too much to search through to find bugs.

Pacman needed a new color scheme
June 02, 2016
Suggestions:
Make the controls better. The small joystick is hard to use. Maybe swiping?
Update it to use the portrait feature
June 02, 2016
If I ever decide to work on this again, I will most likely delete everything and start again. It's a bit of a mess...
April 23, 2016
Is it just me, or does this game have a giant DJ picture in the screenshot section?
March 04, 2016
Lol I just realized that Flip has more comments than this,
March 05, 2016
Really?! I need to comment more what do you want to talk about? 😝
March 05, 2016
You need 20 more comments lol.
February 19, 2016
I can't play the game...
February 15, 2016
Things to add (possibly):
game over screen when you lose
256 levels with faster ghosts and edible timers, and the split screen level (256) (instead of having levels get harder and harder you could just increase the time scale.)
updated screenshots
a main menu
make a ghost reset to the ghost house when it goes too far out the screen (glitch)
make your own joystick graphic
add control options (swipe, joystick that doesn't automatically reset, normal joystick)
February 15, 2016
Why is there massive line spacing? Does a single return work now?
February 15, 2016
No it doesn't...
February 15, 2016
Ooh edible timers sound nice...?
February 15, 2016
ALSO:
February 15, 2016
The time during which the ghosts are edible needs to get shorter and shorter! Lol...
February 15, 2016
Change the description to 4 ghosts and multiple lives. I'm typing a lot today... You should see the comment I left on my hex generator
February 15, 2016
I think this game will keep the Highest amount of comments status for a while...
February 14, 2016
Lol the next update I release will also say fixes the bug that causes ghosts to leave the maze, I found another bug in this update and fixed it on my iPad. I now have on my iPad all 4 ghosts working, but I found yet another glitch that causes the ghosts to stuff up... Really annoying
February 14, 2016
Why did fix the bug
February 14, 2016
Why did I fix the bug? Um because it doesn't look good when the ghost walks through walls
February 09, 2016
I just noticed how many comments this game has, is there actually any game in the hub that has more?
February 09, 2016
Omg I won. Without losing any lives! Still amazing! Love the new graphics.
February 09, 2016
Lol wait till there are 4 ghosts... I also need to make a better you win screen, or like original pacman it takes you to the next level but that'll be after I finish adding new ghosts.
February 09, 2016
nice and clean, worked good too. i like.
February 09, 2016
I like the new update. I still feel the controls are unresponsive. Can you do swipe controls on he screen coordianates?
February 09, 2016
Yes I'll do that, a settings button or something that gives you a choice of controls. The joystick doesn't feel that unresponsive to me, but the way you're meant to play it is holding iPad portrait and always holding the joystick never letting go unless you want to stand still for some reason. Works for me.
February 09, 2016
Oh I didn't know that. But I do think you should make different controls
January 29, 2016
Pacghost went through top right place it wasn't supposed to go when it killed me, and when I respawned it went straight down through the box
January 30, 2016
Down when holding iPad portrait, or landscape?
January 30, 2016
Top right place it wasn't supposed to go?
January 30, 2016
I'll message you a picture, it's hard to explain
January 09, 2016
Cool but I don't know who I am
January 09, 2016
I'm adding proper graphics next update.
January 09, 2016
Great update. This is a really impressive pac-man clone :)
Some feedback:
January 09, 2016
Yes I am missing a lot, I was definitely planning on adding a different graphic for the enemies and the losing a life part was kind of rushed. It's still very much a work in progress.
January 09, 2016
You really should continue it, even if the challenge is over :)
January 07, 2016
You should add 3 lives😜
January 06, 2016
Oops forgot to update the description.
January 02, 2016
the joystick feels unresponsive... :)
January 02, 2016
I've noticed that too, not even sure why
December 31, 2015
I have no idea how you made such a perfect A.I. Enemy but it's really good!
December 31, 2015
Lol branch it and look 😝 good luck understanding it... There's a hidden object at every intersection that the ghost uses to decide which way to go.
January 01, 2016
The fact that it chases you, though....
January 01, 2016
Want me to try to explain it simply?
January 01, 2016
If you don't mind, thanks!
January 02, 2016
There are hidden objects in a group called walls where the walls are and hidden objects in a group called intersections where intersections are, when the enemy collides with an intersection it spawns an object one tile in every direction from that intersection, all the ghost does is calculates the distance from all four spawned objects and finds out which calculation is the smallest, the ghost will travel in the direction that gave the smallest result. If one of the spawned objects collides with a wall they don't count for the ghost. How's that?
January 02, 2016
This makes the ghost dumb sometimes, it might choose a direction that gets itself closer to the player for a second but taking longer to actually reach the player.
July 15, 2016
I want to make a branch to make it harder. is it ok with you if I upload it to da hub
July 15, 2016
If you want, but good luck understanding how it works. I don't even know! Just add credit 😊 although it will say "Branched from Winter Pac-Man"
December 30, 2015
Finished!
December 30, 2015
Not quite, gotta add 3 more enemies with different AI like the original PAC-MAN
December 30, 2015
Also add a more satasfing win!
December 30, 2015
Yep still got quite a bit to do
December 30, 2015
Amazing. This the best pacman game I have seen made on hyperpad/gamepress. Almost better than the origional.
December 27, 2015
I had 11 pellets left and lost. Amazing though.
December 27, 2015
Lol... Yea there aren't any lives yet but there is only one enemy, I will add the rest of the enemies with added lives once I get the Ai completely right for the current enemy, so then I can just duplicate them and slightly change their AI to match the real game.
December 27, 2015
Right now, the AI is as hard to get past as Destiny on impossible mode. The only reason I got that far was because the enemy glitched out and came back in.
December 27, 2015
Have you played original pacman? I've made the AI exactly the same, maybe there are some tiny exceptions.
December 27, 2015
Oh but even the original pacman is quite hard, lives make it a lot easier.
December 23, 2015
I still think that you shouldn't put the joystick in the top-right hand corner. It's some times hard to control. Otherwise, I love the game.😋😀
December 23, 2015
Rotate your iPad. It's a portrait game (home button down) see the score at the bottom that's the way you play it. Thanks 😊
December 23, 2015
Right, up, right, down so you collect the power pill, I think it might have something to do with the ghost changing from scatter mode without hitting an intersection
December 23, 2015
Fixed ghost going through walls I think because it was reversing direction like a millisecond after it turns a corner. I have half fixed the player going through walls, might update it as soon as I fix that.
December 28, 2015
So it'll work in beta?
December 28, 2015
Not sure
December 22, 2015
I found 2 bugs, they may be caused by the beta though:
Pacghost went through the wall (didn't even collide with me)
Moving the joystick diagonally while entering a T intersection from one side lets you go partly inside the wall, doesn't happen from the other side though
Also, the controls are a lot better this way, but maybe change the default joystick background
December 22, 2015
I haven't changed the joystick yet but planning to, when exactly did you and the ghost go through the wall? They did on the previous version if you times something right but I have never done it on new version.
December 22, 2015
Ok I did just manage to go partially in a wall, when it happened the arrows on the joystick were flickering even though my finger was still. There isn't any reason I know that could cause that other than hyperpads joystick behaviours not working perfectly. I could be wrong I will have to have another look.
December 23, 2015
I'm not sure what caused it, I'll try to figure it out but I think it has something to do with the hyperpad collision bug
December 24, 2015
hyperPad collision Bug? Can you send us more info about this from the personal support form? First we're hearing of it :).
December 24, 2015
I'm not sure what the bug is, you'll have to ask Aidan but I think it has something to do with it not detecting collisions when an object collides with two things at the exact same time, but I may be wrong, it could be a problem with the game.
December 20, 2015
Ok there is no way I can move the map up to fit a joystick in the bottom corner because when I use box select then move (snap) everything gets messed up and I would have to enter the coordinates for all the objects again, or delete and add back if it's easier. I didn't think of it until I started writing this, but I could just move the camera down.
December 20, 2015
I think the game is perfect with out update
December 20, 2015
It still has some glitches, you sure the enemy should be a broken animation of pacman but red?? Lol. I'm trying to make it original original, not like the other Neave Pac-Man or whatever it is. It's still missing some other minor stuff other than all 4 ghosts and has horrible controls.
December 20, 2015
Really nicely done, love the graphics.
December 19, 2015
I'll let you guys decide, what would be better controls? Joystick, invisible buttons over the map so tap in direction you want to go, keep the arrows but make them more like the original where if you touch them they will stay pressed until you reach the next turn? Should the controls be on the bottom instead of the top? If hyperpad can do it I can move the entire map up but sometimes it leaves some objects behind.
December 21, 2015
Combine arrows and joystick by making the arrows the base and make the moving part of the joystick invisible, that'll also be good because then you can change directions without letting go of the screen. Move the screen so the directions can be moved.
December 21, 2015
And if you have loads of spare time, let people choose whether landscape or portrait using rotate screen and move the objects
December 19, 2015
Great paceman clone! The movement is really good. My only complaint is that I'm not a fan of where the joystick is placed. It's hard to get at. Either put it at the bottom, or make it a landscape game.
Great start though, I'd love to see this move forward :)
December 19, 2015
I know right! I hate my controls!
December 19, 2015
I could make it landscape but the map in there is portrait, it would be hard to rotate the entire map and rescale everything to fit.
December 19, 2015
This is impressive! I was going to do a pacman, but ended up doing beta instead! I hope this wins! It the best remix yet!
December 19, 2015
Good job hope you win. Even though I'm in 1st place. Hope you steal my spot, because I can't make anything like this and it's pretty good.
December 19, 2015
Lol thanks :) it was a cool idea though Santa being Mario.
December 19, 2015
M8 this is better than mine, Well done!
December 19, 2015
It was actually a lot harder than one might think to make a good working Pac-Man game that works the same as the original.
December 19, 2015
Thought I could finish it with all enemies and everything else working properly before 20 December
