jwierer's Blog - 7800 Pac-man Construction Set - Changing Colors!

RSS Bot · June 9, 2009

I spent a little time on an airplane over the weekend. That gave me some time to look into colors for the maze and dots. A maze is a combination of two colors an outer and inner bar color. Dots are a single color. So for example, in Ms. Pac-man collection there are 4 mazes so there are 12 different locations you can change the colors. On top of that Pac-Man Collection has 21 mazes and can run in “plus” mode which means you have 3*21*2 = 126 different colors you can set using the following 22 colors.

1.	AQUA
2.	BLACK
3.	BLUE (Light)
4.	BLUE
5.	BLUE (Dark)
6.	BROWN (Light)
7.	BROWN
8.	GOLD
9.	HOTPINK
10.	PINK (Light Light)
11.	PINK (Light)
12.	PINK
13.	GREEN (Light)
14.	GREEN
15.	GREEN (Dark)
16.	ORANGE
17.	PURPLE (Light)
18.	PURPLE
19.	PURPLE (Dark)
20.	RED
21.	WHITE
22.	YELLOW

Next I am going to try to implement a full color palette. This was just an easier to work with until I figured out how to read/write the colors. Here is a screen shot of it in action with Ms. Pac-man.
