Hi all,
I wanted to explore java a bit so I decided to create a game (what better way to learn right).
Enter Pacman duel - to any die-hard Pacman fans out there, sorry for butchering it a little.
This is a 2 player game… player 1’s keys are the arrow keys and player 2’s are the WASD keys.
I’d like to say that I really enjoyed creating it, didn’t really know if what I was doing was the right way to do it but was fun anyway. 
Haha cool. Don’t see many 2 player games around.
When I get the chance I want to create a two player game.
I didnt have any1 to play wiht so I jsut played both.
was kinda hard to do both.
good game
you may wan tot write an ai for the other player.
and have an option.
Yeah I tried playing player 2 = left hand and player 1 = right hand.
But it was way too hard!
My brain doesn’t split that way, I wonder if females are more successful doing that since they are supposed to be better multi-taskers in general.
ai would be awesome, but not as fun as playing with an actual person sitting there beside you. worth a think though.
any other suggestions that would make the game more interesting? power-up ideas? maybe submit your own maps and have the high-score tables per map? etc ideas?
I found an error i think. I was playing by myself, and some how near the end of the game my pac man couldn’t die. Did I pick something up that made him invulnerable? The health bar was all the way down, I thought it was at zero.
Hope that helps.
Other than that the game is fun.
nah, there’s no invulnerable power up… just a bug I can’t track down… I think the death state is being overridden by a move state before I process the states (make sense?), anyway, I’ll find it one day
Just updated the controls so that you don’t have to be spot on when you turn. So now when you press a key, and if you can’t move in that direction straight away, it will remember the intended movement and move in that direction when an opening is available.
Makes the game a bit more fun I think, you don’t get those ‘stuck’ moments any more.
BTW your game is awesome.

I agree. but maybe you could have an optionwhe you start the game. for example:
AI
HUMAN
or something like that. so that ppl like me who are loners can have a (real) go.
