Multiplayer Pac-man Challenge
Your challenge is to create a multiplayer Pac-man clone. See the Requirements for more information.
The 2-month challenge seems to be a reasonable time to allow more people to participate, so we're going to stick with that duration.
Create an exact replica with multiplayer gameplay or add your own modifications and improvements!
From Wikipedia:
QuoteThe player navigates Pac-Man through a maze containing various dots, known as Pac-Dots, and four multi-colored ghosts: Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. The goal of the game is to accumulate points by eating all the Pac-Dots in the maze, completing that 'stage' of the game and starting the next stage and maze of Pac-dots.
Game Requirements
- 2+ player board - Choose one or more games modes - local multiplayer, networked multiplayer, and/or AI players
- Team play? Vs play? Both? You decide.
-
The game must have:
- Start screen
- Player selection
- Score system for appropriate mode (winner in Vs mode or team total in Team mode)
- Sound effects
- Graphics representative and capturing the spirit of a Pac-man clone
- One or more levels
- Gameplay mechanics and mazes in the spirit of Pac-man - the game does not need to be an exact clone in graphics or gameplay, but it should demonstrate inspiration from Pac-man. The idea is to create multiplayer Pac-man gameplay.
Art Requirements
- The game may be in 2D or 3D
- Players must be clearly identified
Duration
