Topic: PacMan game v1.2 completed. More refined version of v1.1

[RainCode v1.2]

Hi guys,

just finished the ver 1.2 Pacman game (see video link below but the video recording frame rate is low).
- Better control of game speed as now using timer control suggested by irneb.
- Better graphics as now using rendered background rather than Autocad entities.
- more gameplay : added memory tiles puzzle, somersault and hurling Pacman to a spot. Hurling is for the boss battle.
- it will play 16 levels out of 32 levels randomly.
- games are menu driven.

You need to set autocad path to the pacman folder. It s best it is in the root directory eg. C:\pacman or D:\pacman.

Download the lisp here in the swamp


Download the zip files contains images/data/sound in this youtube video links (dont know why video goes to this site instead of computers)

I haven't tested the code, but I must say that the demo looks very impressive!

[Krushert]

I haven't tested the code, but I must say that the demo looks very impressive!

Same sentiment here!  WOW! 
 I am not going to even try it.  I will be suck into the game and not get any work done.

Nice of you to share, interesting to see how you restrict the pacmans' movement.

Thanks RainCode V1.2 <-- a more refined version of RainCode v1.1 ? 

[MickD]

awesome, your lisp fu is good

[RAIN CODE]

Glad to hear you guys like the game.

But I must say, I still have alot to learn about AutoLisp.

[RAIN CODE]

it is a good feeling to me when I think of it, people enjoying the game in another part of this planet.

The time zone can be different, it may be when I am in the middle of my sleep and people at other side of this planet is enjoying something I created - that is a nice feeling

[liuhaixin88]

Very nice ! Thank you for sharing.

What steps are still missing?

[RAIN CODE]

Tried it in Visual Lisp Editor:

error: PPF Internal: unexpected ctoken type

hmmm...honestly I really dont know what that means. Does anyone know  ?

Are you running it on Autocad 2002 ?

This routine only run on acd2002 ?   

[RAIN CODE]

To Liuhaixin88,

Try this...

upzip the file pacman (v1.2).zip to a temp folder.
Then move the whole Pacman folder to drv C. 

Hope this will help.

I am not familiar with VBA code. What does the above code do ?

The exaple provided is not VBA code, this is VisualLisp. It plays sound files (wma, mp3 & others supported by Windows Media Player). Should work with AutoCAD 2000 & above (x32/x64), BricsCAD (x32/x64), ZWCAD, GstarCAD, progeCAD and probably CorelCAD (heck, what a zoo!)

try (your path to file may vary):
(play-sound "c:\\windows\\media\\tada.wav")

Your sound playing code depends on VBA DVB files. VBA DVB code is not supported in BricsCAD x64. AutoCAD 2009 & above supports VBA with additional module instalation only. AutoCAD x64 VBA needs different code (it's about function pointers).

To make your code more portable I recommend to rewrite sound routines using only VisualLisp. You may use my snippet for it.

But this thing only run on Acad ver 2002.

With a little modification it should run under all above mentioned CADs.

[RAIN CODE]

At first I try to run this lisp on Autocad ver
2008 but the screen turned white. I dont
know why that happened then I write it for
Autocad ver2002.

The sound code wasnt written by me. I
found it on a forum.

But if I change the sound code to make it
run on higher ver it still cannot run becoz
the screen turned white.

You ahould try it on higher ver then you
will know what I mean.

I only have AutoCAD 2014 and 2015, so I can't play with this, looks cool though.

problem.

I would like to even get that far, but I get the same issue as in this post:

Perhaps if I can get that error resolved, then I can look at the white screen error.

That issue is becos have to set pacman folder to autocad path...
anyway check my newer post.

Just support cad 2002 ,? not many people will use ...
