In this part of my Video Games Tutorial I show how to make the hardest part in Pac-Man, which is the Ghost AI Algorithm. We’ll Create the Ghost AI so Ghosts Circle Around the Maze on their own, They’ll React to Collisions with Pivot Points and They’ll Always Remain Perfectly Centered. We’ll also have the Ghosts Move Erratically, Use an Array to Store Game Objects, Make Ms. Pac-Man use Portals and a whole bunch more.

In the next 2 videos I’ll cover how to lock Ms. Pac-Man perfectly inside of the maze as she moves around. We will do this not through colliders, but instead by using pivot points, which will make the movement very clean and also resource light. We’ll cover how to Setup Pivot Points, Putting GameObjects in an Array, Selecting GameObjects in Code, Cycling through GameObjects in Empties, Moving Ms. Pac-Man, Animating Ms. Pac-Man and much more.

The images are here and the code follows the video below. Continue reading How to Make Video Games 18 →

You asked for it, and now here it is a Ms. Pac-man Clone! In this specific video I’ll cover how to draw all the sprite assets in Gimp including the Ghosts, Ms. Pac-Man, GameBoard, Dots, etc. Then we’ll cover how to create a pixel precise grid layout, setup our project, create sprite sheets, create animations, sorting layers, and so much more! Understanding how grid based games work will dramatically increase the number of games you can make.
