Pacman clone as an open web app #66

Open Desiderius77 opened 10 years ago

Desiderius77 commented 10 years ago

The old game Pacman has already been ported to FirefoxOS

http://firefoxadvices.com/pacman-for-firefox-phones/

but the game is not very easy to play.

The objective of this project is to create ( from scratch or from the first implementation ) a version of the game that be used usind swipe to make pacman change direction

@vpmenon Did you start something ? Since our 'Flappy Bird' issue was closed, we could work with @KvnOnWeb on this pacman project using swipe to make pacman change direction.

TeliHub commented 10 years ago

We started here : https://github.com/KvnOnWeb/pacman-for-firefox-os

Hi, I'd like to join you...are you still working on the project. It seems that there hasn't been any activity lately.

Dear @marekstrelec, we have worked on this project as our Mozilla Student project for this year.

We made a playable game but there are several points that can be enhanced such as:

1) The ghost AI (they do not move like descent people), they should at least try to get the Pacman instead of moving randomly. 2) The Pacman swipe gesture has to be done during the perfect timing to be understood by the phone. It could be better if we could save for 1 or two seconds the gesture and as soon as it is possible to make the move, then do it. For example a wall is standing on your left, if you make a right to left gesture to ask Pacman to turn left. This gesture will be saved for a few time and as soon as you can turn left, it automatically does. (We have to define a time-out of 2.5 seconds for example)

Of course the design can be updated, but I think these are the 2 main issues we can now contribute to.

Thank you for your interest @marekstrelec

Please find our repository here, I've just created 2 new issues. https://github.com/KvnOnWeb/pacman-for-firefox-os

Hi @TeliHub, I made a pull request last month. Can you please check it out and possibly add me to contributors so that I can contribute directly. Thank you :)
