"Pacboy"

Last week saw the completion of Pacboy - a 3D version of the original Pacman game. (You can play it online here.)

Working in a team of three, what began as a simple fractal landscape project in OpenGL (that had to be completed in two weeks) culminated in a further hectic month's worth of stress, resulting in a well presented 3D game we have called Pacboy. It's far from perfect though - it would have been good to have a camera tracking the Pacboy from behind, and to have more than one ghost, and to have the ghost(s) actually chase the Pacboy if he's within a certain distance.... but hey, we got through it! Well done team!

Not really separated at birth...

I believe the following video clip offers insights to the deemed "separated at birth." Enjoy!
