Jay started a Pacman competition in the last newsletter using PlayMyCode. So go make an entry and paste it here!

Here is my entry, Pac Life! This took me around 3 whole hours (and I'm sure it shows).

My thought process was "what would it be like being Pacman?" and "what could we learn from being Pacman?". That is my inspiration, enjoy!

I wish all I ever had to do was eat Pacman whines a lot.

Does it hurt when you do this?
Yes.
Then don't do that!

I believe getting browser window and keyboard focus is one of the things that just doesn't work reliably, so it is what it is.

Your partly right. Keyboard controls are not super reliable. Specifically I cannot ping the state of the keys (which would help sort lots of problems).

Internally PMC tracks what key is down, so to fix this bug I can just clear that recording when you pause. But this causes new issues I need to look at.

This is actually something I am planning to look into further, after sound!

A just ran into a bug


We'll call it a "hidden feature".

Ah, I misread Stealth's post. I thought he was talking about a new and different bug.

That's pretty cool to be able to create that.
It is a good place to create something build upon.
It would be great if you you could eventually develop into something like this pacman game for example.
Nice work I can appreciate the time that went into it.

Thanks for the feedback, and you could certainly build a proper pacman clone on PMC.
