Pacman: A Sequel

To get the game running, just extract the .zip file and click the shortcut labeled Pacman. Check the README file for a cheat code.

Pacman's a pretty neat game, right guys? I started off with making a simple Pacman clone but I thought maybe I could inject my own ideas and design goals into it and create something brand new. So that's what I did. I got rid of all the things I didn't like and added a bunch of things I thought were cool that express my goals and demonstrate what I want to create when designing games: momentum based gameplay; AI that makes sense and properly communicates its goals; strong audio-visual feedback so the player always knows what's going on; shorter experiences that don't waste the player's time; etc. I gave it the subtitle "A Sequel" because good game sequels are always familiar to players returning from the previous installment while providing a completely new set of mechanics to play around with. Hope you enjoy!
