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

https://sprig.hackclub.com/share/X4EGvOFk1q8FroEPCj1G
20•kuberwastaken•9mo 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!

Update: Made it EVEN cooler with ghosts with multiple personalities, smarter map generation and more: https://sprig.hackclub.com/share/Rnb0G9RagYqXEnyxfvvj

Update: Fixed Uncompletable maps too

riidom•9mo ago
There are sometimes coins unreachable, I noticed.
kuberwastaken•9mo ago
Yup, that is an issue haha, you can press K to refresh the map!
kuberwastaken•9mo ago
Update: should be fixed in this one :D https://sprig.hackclub.com/share/Rnb0G9RagYqXEnyxfvvj

Heads up, you need to add a CSS rule to make the game playable on mobile browsers. Otherwise the page zooms in whenever you tap the controller.

kuberwastaken•9mo ago
Uh there's no way for me to allow it to be played on mobile because 1. I don't own the website, 2. It's designed for another set of hardware with very little controls, the game works with WASD and K
