This is a pre-alpha release and as such resembles a demolition site.
The game is playable, but only in the loosest sense of the word
"playable."  It's not anywhere near what I would call good...yet.
But I want folks to be able to see an example using the game kit,
and this will at least help them get started.

This version is under construction!!!  It is chock full of bugs, and I know about many of them, so don't even bother submitting bug reports; wait until I go into beta for that.  Here are some of the real whoppers:

	No extra guys.  Not working yet.
	Haven't redone the prefs panel to add needed options, like HS server.
	Need to sample _real_ sounds, not the cheesy ones I'm using for testing
	Need to write a score for the music/background siren
	Help is a major mess.  That's the last thing I'm worrited about right now.
	High score system is totally broke at the moment.  Sorry.

And I'm sure you'll notice a lot more; so will I once I start getting
this mess cleaned up!  Until then, bear with me!  Also, the only reason
I have made this available is so that folks can use it to get a better
feel for the game kit and how to use it.  This is currently _not_ a great
example, and there will be some major changes yet to come, as well as
some minor changes in the API.  The biggest change will be the creation
of state machine objects, which will make the PacManView _much_ simpler
and easier to follow.  Until then, again, please bear with me!



Here's the original readme:
---------------------------

This folder contains the complete source to the PacMan game, written by
Don Yacktman (Don_Yacktman@byu.edu).

Look at the License Panel for details about software licensing, etc.

The Help Panel contains rudimentary information about playing the game, but
it assumes that you at least know what PacMan is.  I've tried to make the
game look decent in monochrome, but it really shines in color...

If you don't plan to keep the sources around, you can remove the following
files and then change the name of the folder to "PacMan.app":

<whatever>.h
<whatever>.m
IB.proj
PacMan.iconheader
Makefile
Makefile.<whatever>

All the other files are needed to run PacMan, so don't delete them!

The other option is to type "make install" from a UNIX shell which will
install PacMan.app in your ~/Apps directory.  The source directory
provided takes up about 800k, an installed app takes 470k, and you will
need about 2MB free if you plan to build the app using make.

I hope you enjoy PacMan and will look forward to any feedback you may have.
