I feel like I am just repeating myself at this point, but I will say it anyway- looks great!

Ditto.

I can't disagree - awesome work

Thanks for all the compliments. I'm glad to say that the cabinet is finally done. Still have to do the computer and screen part, but no more woodworking etc.

And a close up

It's awesome.

Have another version of that game for me to test yet?

Woodshop Flunky · « **Reply #125 on:** July 21, 2012, 02:35:17 pm »

Incredible results!

yaksplat · « **Reply #126 on:** July 21, 2012, 08:35:13 pm »

Extremely well done!!

In case i missed it, was there any mention of plans, and if they would become available?

GameKing · « **Reply #127 on:** July 22, 2012, 11:15:45 am »

WOW :applaud:very awesome! In which city do you live? Love to see this beauty in real life

Added two randomly moving opponents (which don't kill you yet) and some glowy stuff.

Nice update, what I'm getting on my system: no bounce off the blue opponents, they pass right through everyone. When any opponent moves off the top of the screen they flash teal for a second before entering the bottom of the field. Yellow and Pink opponents have a tether to either top corner of the screen.

Keep it coming, looking good.

Still can't get this to work on my cocktail arcade.

Video card is coming in today

Well done on the build and the software is starting to come alive.
(Also saw your Galaga replica)

jmike · « **Reply #131 on:** July 23, 2012, 05:29:40 pm »

Okay, got the first version to play without the new video card. But the revised version just showed a black screen on the left corner.

Here's where I'm hoping to play it on.

You've made it a really nice cabinet Sjaak!

No, these are Seimitsu LS-32's

Thanks! I missed that. The LS-32's look great in there.

Le Chuck · « **Reply #137 on:** July 25, 2012, 06:52:58 pm »

Just noticed on this latest game update that after a collision the two collide-able opponents both have speed reduced by about half and don't seem to regain full speed at any time. Color switch on moving off screen is gone, transitions looking better. Ghosting trail behind the two non-collide-able opponents looks okay but is a bit jerky still.

thatpurplestuff · « **Reply #138 on:** July 26, 2012, 11:17:20 am »

Just wanted to say that this build is awesome. The cabinet itself is incredible, but you're taking it to the next level with your own freakin software. Very cool!

To all beta testers: new version available

DeLuSioNal29 · « **Reply #144 on:** July 30, 2012, 06:11:56 pm »

Down the line, have you considered swapping out your program with the real PCB for this game (or a PC version if it comes out).

I don't think a PC version will ever come out. Namco never released a PC version of the Pac Man Championship edition games. And even if they did, then it probabbly wouldn't work with 4 joysticks and led buttons.

If I could get a PCB, I probably wouldn't use it, because my own version of the game will have everything the original has and some extra stuff, like the possibility to design your own levels and lot's of configurable options (game speed, nr of ghosts, etc)

mad skills!

You'd better be making this open source

As a software engineer, i'd like to see the code required to make a game like this. I've never touched games on the code side.

Seith · « **Reply #147 on:** July 31, 2012, 01:37:04 pm »

This is really cool, I have to say.

Since I started building my cab, i've had a couple developer friends show interest in making games to run on my project when it's done, but I never thought to do something on this level! Awesome work so far, Sjaak!

Sjaak · « **Reply #148 on:** August 01, 2012, 12:37:25 pm »

A quick preview of the game. Still lots to do, but it's getting there.

yaksplat · « **Reply #149 on:** August 01, 2012, 12:45:02 pm »

That looks like a lot of fun.

This is so cool. How many lines of code? How many hours of debugging? Do you have sound/music?

There is not a lot of code, the main game code is just 375 lines, player code 336 lines and ghost code 272 lines.

# Lines of code : 1,744
# Methods : 203
# C# source files : 23
# Lines of comment : 460
# Classes : 28

The game is written in C# with some DirectX shaders (HLSL) for the player glow, the straight and wavy lines to the players and the glow around the maze. Debugging and coding is taking a lot of time, I think I already spent almost 100 hours on that. And of course I have some help with testing from two people on this forum.
