Sorry for not posting much but I have been very busy with other things.
What I am going to do:
Fruit: I am replacing the Mushroom with a Cherry and the Fireflower with a peach. The status bar I would really like someone to code for me. As I need a Pacman style status bar. PacGhosts, I also need someone to make one for for me. I just need the ASM file as I can do the CFG file myself. Custom music ,It will be the MuhMeh Pacman noise. I can insert that. I don't get that High Score thingy because i canot find a download link. But I will use it. The Pac-Palletes (are they the things that turn the ghosts blue) will be a still starman, I am removing the coin sparkles so Pacman will not sparkle when he gets it but with some pallette exanimation, I will turn the ghosts blue.
Originally posted by the guyIt's good idea, but someone who couldn't figure out Xkas wants to change SMW into a completely different game? Also, it's a game that basically conists of:
Fruit, Pac-Dots, Pac-Pellets, and Ghosts. So four sprites. After that, the level design would take.... a day? Maybe two? It doesn't appear you know ASM, so basically, whoever makes the sprites for you practically made the hack, while you'll get credit.
I'm not trying to be mean, and I'm not saying your trying to steal credit (I know you're not), but this does seem a little ridculous.
But hey, the idea is good, so if you get it done, I'd play it.
I am trying to do as much as I can myself but I will give credit to everyone who takes part and makesure they are known by doing this.
Originally posted by IceguyHeh, I also had the idea of creating a Pac-Man hack earlier in 2009 when NekohDot was working on a Pac-Man tileset, but I never got around to it due to laziness and lack of motivation until last year in August. I discarded the project shortly after I started though and then lost interest in SMW hacking. I never got far, but I ripped some graphics and made a few ASM hacks (Pac-Man style lives, Pac-Man himself, and a few other stuff). It would be pretty awesome to have a Pac-Man style hack and I strongly recommend you continue working on it. ;)
Also, rather than using coins as the collectables you should use a custom block or something that adds up to your score and coins too. Would also be useful for a high-score system which would be pretty cool to have in a game like this.
By the way you should add a few more levels rather than just having 4 to make the game more interesting, like having gimmicks and more minor variations to your levels to make them better than the original game.
Have you got any of them ASM hacks still as I can't find them in the patches section. It would be great if I could use them.
I will be bringing a screenshot of the title screen soon.
EDIT:
The dots are animated so they flash colours. What do you think.,
