jspacman's Introduction

jspacman

This is a faithful recreation of the Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man arcade games reverse engineered in javascript.

In order to play, the files must be placed on a web server and loaded in Chrome, Firefox, or Edge. Safari does not work

My goal in this project was to get as close to pixel perfect as possible. And I think it's fairly close, but there are some inconsistencies still. The game includes all credit/title scenes and cut scenes for both Pac-Man and Ms Pac-Man.

I've also coded in a gameboard observing algorithm for potential use in an A.I. implementation.

Controls are:

Shift: Insert Credit

Enter: 1 Player Start

2: 2 Players Start

Move: Arrow Keys or WASD

Space: Pause Game

F: Advance Game One Frame

jspacman's Issues

Support higher refresh rates

I just tried the game through itch, and I must say, it plays great, better than other clones! Except for the fact that the game's speed seems to be tied to the refresh rate of the display.

For example, it runs normally at 60hz, but when I first started it I played at 144hz and died almost instantly. I'd recommend either locking the framerate to the arcade original (which I believe was something like 60.61hz) or allowing the user to choose the framerate.

As a lefty, WASD as an option would also be appreciated. I may use this as a chance to learn JS and make a pull request at some point.

Turn preference of actors

In Actor.js, you specify the turn preferences in the order LEFT, UP, RIGHT, DOWN. According to the Pac-Man dossier, this should be UP, LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT. Who is right?

(P.S. I am very impressed by your work)
