Interesting, I was going to flicker the Ghosts and Bonuses, but for a different reason. I thought that the player's attention would be focused on Pac-Man most of the time making flickering the Ghost and Bonus a better choice to minimize the visual impact. Playing it just now I found most of my attention is on where the Ghost is! Thinking about it even further, really the only choice is to flicker the Ghost and Bonus as I'm currently using hardware collision. Using Hardware Collision: Flicker Pac-Man/Ghost = No death from Ghost as they're never on the screen at the same time. Flicker Pac-Man/Bonus = No collecting Bonus as they're never on the screen at the same time. Flicker Ghost/Bonus = No problem, Ghost and Bonus don't care about each other For my next game I will be using all software collision to avoid having no options like this. For this game I can still make it work without changing to software collision.... for now. - James

Interesting idea! Currently I'm using hardware collision with the playfield (pellets) to determine if you've eaten a dot, then I check via software if that dot is a power pellet. I'd have to change to software collision with the pellets to implement that, as right now Pac-Man couldn't eat the power pellet while it's not visible. I'll think about that as I move forward with the game, great suggestion! - James

I will continue to update the Pac-Line 2600 binary, no worries about that. 🙂 - James
