I am done working on a Jr. Pac-man Construction Set and have moved onto a Pac-man Construction Set. So far this is working with Jr. Pac-man, Pac-man Collection, Ms. Pac-man, and Bob’s recent Ms. Pac-man Arcade hack.

 

On top of supporting additional games and fixing some bugs, the controls are a bit different. You can still select and enter dots, mazes, or energy dots, but now there is a Maze and Dot mode where you can draw freely with the let mouse button and erase with the right mouse button.

 

BTW did anybody realize that Pac-man Collection Set had 21 different mazes? Poor Bob had to create all of those by hand! Anyway here are a few screenshots of the latest in action.

Hmm, can Piranha style mazes be made? Piranha's a hacked Pac Man.

You can certainly modify the maze to match Piranha, though from what I understand the only maze that supports vertical tunnels is maze 10 in Pac-man Collection since it was specifically added for that maze. If you put a vertical tunnel on any other maze in PMC or MS. Pacman the ghosts will get lost and Pac-man/MS. Pacman are blocked from going off screen. Interestingly enough Jr. Pacman has the logic for vertical tunnels, but not horizontal.

 

Even if you change the mazes you would also need to change the maze colors and hack the graphics. The graphics and colors are pretty straight forward to change, but I haven't gotten around to that yet...
