Maybe the next big thing in games (although I have no idea of games as I don't play...) might be the 3D systems with gloves full of sensors, 3D screens or 3D glasses or better a suit to wear and "live" the game. I fear that this will soon be a reality and player will escape his environment to live his virtual reality. I wonder if he could escape then back...

The SMS (Sega Master System) -- was the first console to bring out 3D glasses, but they sold poorly due to the supporting games, or rather lack of. The Nintendo Wii has controllers with built-in sensors that allow the player to play a game of tennis by swinging the controller as apposed to pushing buttons. Where it is all headed is anyone's guess. The next 20-years will be very interesting.

I'm keen to do one more game: DEAD or Alive.

I need a graphic artist, a psychologist, and 50K to pull it off. Lots of spy ware included, and plenty of colorful characters, people are guaranteed to absolutely love it.

I think that this game would prove to be an enormous asset. I know of dozens of websites which would publish an executable.

Speaking of online executable, have you seen this?

I have been playing with it for about a year now, lots of fun.

Trent, I finally opened up the pac.zip file, and it is just the exe. Did you intend to post the source code?

Thanks!

The source is not available just yet.

It needs to be commented, dusted and polished before it becomes publicly viewable on planet source code.

You may get a shock when you see it -- there's only ~50KB of code that makes this pacman tick. This is the beauty of object orientated programming.

The source code for Pacman is now available: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb...7023&lngWId=10

A game of Snake is also available: http://www.planet-source-code.com/vb...7024&lngWId=10

Another game entitled Black Belt Legend (a fight to the death) will be available mid feb.

A little OT -
Have you seen the wiimote library available for .NET? I've been playing with this for a week reading all the accelerometer, button, battery, IR information from it over bluetooth. It is Sweeeeeeet! I'm planning on utilizing the wii remote to control a little servo controlled robot I've got for a robotics presentation for a Jr. High school presentation.
