play pacman with random maze

PAC-MAZE,
I think the name has explained it all. You know Pac-man, do you not?
If you love pac-man then you will love this one, If you don't love pac-man then I think you should.

This game is about pac-man with a new style.The maze is created randomly, you'll find a different maze everytime you play, you can even change the maze during game play.
The ghost is rather upgraded. They are slower but able to work as a team. There's no way you can run from them. The only way you can save your self, is by grabbing the power up, which are not many of them.
And there will be more than three ghost. The classic only gives you three ^_^.
There are 23 level to fight for, dozens of mazes to play, and more.

The random mazes are a good idea, but it needs some work. What made the original arcade Pac-Man fun was the speed, which was kind of lost in the Atari 2600 version and in this one. Also, your screen-shot doesn't show it, but the two times I ran the game, the color purple (255,0,255) wasn't masked... Didn't look too good.

Anyways, it's a good start. Just kick it up a bit.

that purple dosn't show up in my monitor. maybe because I don't set my monitor to high resolution.

May be I shall try to fix it a little.

about the speed, I don't think anyone can survive with high speed, but sometimes people love the challenge.

thank you

upgrade with new button

add the option of speed. You can change the speed of pacman and the ghosts.

about the problem with failed maskimage 255,0,255. I have found a monitor with that problem. It belongs to my friend. I'm trying to fix with that now

Another update for Pacmaze. I added another button for option, also fixed the problem with pink color. Actually the pink color only appear in some of monitor. I don't know why is that but it seems that the problem is with the color recognition. I think some computers choose the color so strictly that it doesn't tolerate any slight differences. What ever the problem is the best solution would be to use black for the mask color. I did it and I think it'd works. I haven't tried it yet, but I'm sure it does, otherwise I don't know else to do.

For the new button, it will call a form like this. You can change the speed for Pacman and the ghost. You can also change the amount of power-ups for each level (it is in percentage). Changing these option will make your score not be recorded. Your score will not appear in the high-score. This is so that you cannot cheat the system.

You can change the speed of the ghost so that they will walk slower, and add more power ups to get more points but that'd be cheating. That's why you will not get your score recorded for doing that.
