SwingPacman v 0.61 (WebStart)

Hi all,

So I’ve finally resolved all (I hope :slight_smile: problems to have my SwingPacman be WebStart enabled and released a new version. You can find the jnlp here: http://java.woogley.net/hosted/SwingPacman.jnlp (Thanks to Matt Campbell, www.woogley.net for hosting the file).

You still need Java 5 tough…

Cheers

I like it! Is there an option of rendering the maps larger? It’s hard to get into it when the game is so small. Like the differences in different levels though, very cool.

Hi,

No, there is no option to render the maps larger at this time. However, this is a good idea; I’ll add this to my improvements lists. As for the levels, I am thinking on writing a WYSIWYG level editor, so that the design of varied levels becomes easier.

Thanks very much for your comments :slight_smile:

Nice pacman game. I noticed you even used the sounds from the original pacman, nice. :slight_smile:
I agree it would be nice to have larger rendering. I also suggest to center the frame when it starts (currently it starts on the top left) and I would really like to see the controls to be not tile-based. It’s now impossible for example to turn back when you are half way a tile and it’s never a good idea to have the controls be a part of the challange of a game.

Hi Erik,

Very good suggestions indeed. I would have never tought about centering the frame, I unconsciously moved it back to the center with the mouse every time I started the game. :slight_smile:

Regarding the controls to be not tile-based, I always felt a slight discomfort with the controls without being able to exactly express what was wrong, now I have the answer. However this change is a little bit more complicated I fear, so I’ll have to think more toroughly about it.

Thanks a lot

Christophe
