Pac-Man Hard Mode

Post by Fluffyumpkins » Thu Mar 15, 2012 10:09 am

PacMan has been figured out at this point.

Here's a contest nobody will ever compete in:

Pac Man Hard Mode

PacMan behavior cannot change.
Environment cannot change.
Existing game timers with regard to power dots cannot change.
Ghost AI may be reprogrammed. We'll assume the memory limitations of the original hardware are no longer present.
Any and all pathing logic changes are fair game.
Ghost logic on remaining power dots can be changed.

IndyDDR people play each mod and track scores. Programmer's mod that results in lowest player scores wins.

Why did Ryu fall in the end? Does stun knockdown?

I actually have no idea... you can't get stunned in this game.

edit: oh, apparently after 100 hits you get knocked over
