Show HN: Sprigman – Pac-Man Recreated in a Limited Tile Based JavaScript Engine

https://sprig.hackclub.com/share/X4EGvOFk1q8FroEPCj1G
15•kuberwastaken•3d ago
Sprig is a tile based game engine made by Hack Club that's like Scratch's older brother but has it's own set of unique limitations.

All sprites need to be made in Bitmap and uses a midi like event sequencer to get any music into it, since it's meant for a different set of hardware, you can only use very basic controls too.

I made a version of PacMan inside it that has randomly generated mazes every time and mostly works well!
