[GAME] PacMap

[bompo]

PUBLIC BETA TEST

PacMap is a location-based game for Android phones.
To play the game you need a GPS signal and a working internet connection. There also have to be some streets nearby.
Your goal is to eat all the dots. For each dot you will get a point. But beware! Ghosts will try to catch you. Try to avoid them as long as possible.

Warning!
Don't play this game on a busy street! Don't put yourself in danger! Obey the traffic rules and regulations!

I have a question.
How to control the pacman to move?

 

[thx1200]

The game right now looks designed more for city driving but I think this would be an awesome idea for an exercise game for walkers/runners. If you can find a way to speed up game play for pedestrians (maybe dots are smaller or closer together?), this would be a lot of fun. The neighborhoods around where I live have a lot of cul de sacs and little side roads, which would be perfect mazes.

What about Multiplayer-Mode? Someone should be able to connet and play the ghosts, that would be really cool

Reading the instructions I would guess you've to walk to move the pacman

that would be great.

+ Limited, adjustable Gaming Area. That Pacman can't flee over an highway.

Thanks for your feedback.

Yes, you have to walk.

What about Multiplayer-Mode?

Would be hard to implement. Also the game would become hide-and-seek.

Limited, adjustable Gaming Area. That Pacman can't flee over an highway.

There is a time limit and the ghost will still chase you if you leave the gaming area.


After I fixed the remaining bugs, I will try to implement a kind of "unlimited mode" for walkers/runners.

Anyway if the game is working or not. The idea is awesome.

This is indeed a novel idea, and I'm sure will be quite fun for drivers, while they're being SUPER safe of course...

I just tested it out though, and it seems to keep my GPS connection active even after closing the app? I also terminated it through a task killer, and the GPS icon was still in my status bar...Understandable as it's still in beta-form, but just wanted to notify bompo and see if anyone else had experienced this.

Thanks for this great app+idea bompo!

Really really cool idea for a remake of Pacman.
I love it.

And yes: Multiplayer would be really cool too.

i strongly agree!

Great idea really, congrats.

Besides GPS turn-of problem as scar45 stated, I had the problem that the app did not update my current location.
I see my self at home, although I'm at the office And I checked my current location on Latitute as upto date.

And I also thing that the multi-player option would be great, collecting yellow dots with a friend on bicycle will a lot fun

Thanks Pompo

Could you mirror it again or provide the sourcecode?
