EDIT

V1.00 - hurrah!

Finally got around to adding the background sound loop

Unless major bugs are found, this is the final version.

Please enjoy, and report any bugs you find

Ghosts are still escaping

[Coolboy1982]

I don't mind the ghosts! great job!
One thought though: Could you please map the number keys, too for the directions (like the controls for snake), because one needs really small
fingers to use the joystick properly...
Also are you planning a highscore upload to the internet later?
Thaks again! great work!

Ghosts are still escaping

bugger, I've not seen that recently, thought I'd nailed it

do they escape at the edges or from the central pen?

[muff]

just uploaded version 0.3a - fixed a bug in the sound loop at the end of levels

[Monolithix]

I think its the central pen, i only really notice once they're drifting across the center of the screen though.  That is, through the gap in the middle of each wall, and just keep drifting across the screen until you eat them.

mapping to the keypad will be done in the next version - will wait until I fix these ghosts until I do that, otherwise I'd be doing updates all day long

could you let me know what the mapping for the keys is in snake, I dont have it

as for internet scoring, hadn't planned to do so - but maybe

so they are drifting horizontally?

always left to right, right to left or both

sorry to hassle, but may help me find the bug

[Coolboy1982]

Sure: 2=up, 4=left, 6=right, 8=down

[Coolboy1982]

Those were the snke-like controls I was talking about in the last post!
Also in case you will decide to do an upload feature for the highscores later,
you may want to have a look at the snake thread here , as that app sends them to an online list!
Well actually someone like you who quickly coded packman in a few hours
probably doesn't even need to look at other people's work to add another
feature.
Looking forward to future releases!

newer version still

now up to 0.04a

this fixes the bug Monolithix spotted on ghosts running out of the pen when you get the power pills - big thanks for spotting what was happening here mate

also mapped the numeric pad ala Snake for the controls - thanks to Coolboy1982 for reminding me  

any more bugs, just let me know

Np, plays nicely now, great work

[Deemon]

doest work for me ... click on SPVman in the games menu , the coloured wheel comes up like its loading and then it goes back to the menu...

(yes my phone is cert unlocked)

[Monolithix]

Tried rebooting/clearing out some old apps with taskmanager?  Sounds like a possible memory restraint probelm...

[muff]

Monolithix:

I take it the download worked ok for you, and your running the 0.04a version

just want to make sure it's not a problem at my end

[Deemon]

yeah odd.. a reboot did the trick...but freespace said i had loads of memory left...

[Monolithix]

I didn't have any problems downloading, used the link in your first post and whacked it onto my SD card.  (Double checked, definately v0.04a according to the inital screen when it loads).

[muff]

cool, as long as the 2 people who'll play it, can

[davy]

works fine for me.
Great work.
