This is a duplicate of the original Pacman coded from scratch in Raw C#. The game board and characters are drawn in raw GDI.
Back in the 80's, this game was a huge part of my life. That and the Commodore 64 were the 2 eras of my life that helped me to coding as a career. I told myself that someday when I became a programmer I would write this sucker from scratch. Finally the time allowed it.

Boy are we showing are age. I to remember the Commodore Products. Since I use to sell them and all the neat software for them. How about the Amiga?? You did alot of work on this. Thanks for sharring and bring back the old days. 5 Globes from this end (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
This is great work Brian. I've always wanted to recreate my favorite from this era, Start Castle. I love these old arcade games; everything now is based on fighting or D&D-style quests. Sometimes older IS better. Thanks for sharing this gem. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
BTW: My first system was a Commodore VIC-20... 4K RAM, "Datasette" drive, 16L memory upgrade card. yes we are old :) (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
I worked in Commodore Philippines. Before and i remember this kind of game. 5 gloves from me, its such an excellent program.... (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Screenshot looks great. the entire Pacman series is still part of my favourites list. However, i cannot get this code to compile in Visual Studio 2005 nor in C# 2005. The compiler complaints about locking a DLL in Direct X. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Thank y ou for you comments. First off, .Net framework 2.0 is not compatible with direct sound. They decided to do away with Direct X support and implement XNA support. The reason why I had to use DX, was to play multiple sounds simultaneously. Believe it or not, standard windows API does not allow this under C#. So unfortunately, unless you remove the sound, you are stuck running this under 1.1 framework. No work arounds. (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Why not try using mulitple passes with MMPlayer? I did that with a remake of the old Vic 20 "Tank VS UFO" when I learned OOP in VB.NET 2003. I have many sounds blowing off at any given time along with full background music.
This is a nice remake tho :) Great job! (If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)
Unbelivable. You have not uploaded a simple fragment from PacMan. You really uploaded a playable project. I pressed F5 and then I just smiled because of the original sounds!!! Regards
