\"Second<\/a>

Second prototype of my game. All placeholder art, but most of the mechanics are in place.<\/p><\/div>\n

15 hours into the Dare, and this is what I got to show for my efforts:<\/p>\n

The basic mechanics are in place: you can move your ghost, and you can switch among ghosts. If pacman eats all the pellets you lose (and go back to the main screen). If you manage to catch Pacman, he dies, and you win (and go back to the main screen). There are a few mechanics that I have yet to implement (power pellets, scoring, ramping difficulty), but the game is mostly feature complete now. Now it is the time to add actual art, sound, and balance to the game, and this is my plan for sunday.<\/p>\n

Feeling good.<\/p>\n

Here are the links to the prototype:<\/p>\n
