Description
Play some Arcade games in Prison Architect! Ever got bored while waiting for research or construction to finish? Why not play a good old Arcade Game while you are waiting?

Kill your time with Snakes! Space Invaders! Or the mother of all games: Pong!

USAGE
  • Place an Arcade Cabinet and click on it.
  • Use the buttons to control the games.
  • Improve your High Scores.
  • Waste your time.

GAMES
  • Snake: eat your way through the map without touching the walls nor your tail.
  • Pong: play a game against the AI or yourself, whoever makes 10 points wins.
  • Invaders: shoot your way through 10 levels of increasingly difficult alien invaders, and fight a huge boss at the end of each level. Each level has 15 waves of different invaders.

COLOURS
The games are using the typical Amber and Green colours from monochrome monitors back in the days, to give you that extra bit of retro feeling. Welcome back in the past!


SCRIPTS
  • Snake was written by Introversion Software and published hidden inside the game files.
  • Pong was written in BASIC for Pico-8[blog.afoolishmanifesto.com] and translated into Lua for PA.
  • Space Invaders was written from scratch with combined knowledge from the scripts above.

Nice Mod, One thing is could you maybe add more games?

Thanks :lunar2019coolpig:

btw Pacman will be implemented, but I had to halt the project due to circumstances and when I looked at it again a few days ago I found out it's too unstable to publish.

No release date known, I need my time to do some other things at the moment.
Unless some lua god wants to give it a shot and fix the spaghetti mess awesome code which I have so far, and implement the stuff which is still needed.

as always,your mod is so much fun & original,seriously,you are one of the best modder of the PA community :steamhappy:

I found this nice extensive website [www.gamasutra.com] with a lot of detailed info on the mechanics of Pacman, so I'm busy implementing as much things from the original game as possible/doable.

As I wrote earlier, I had monsters just chasing pacman as soon as the game starts, but there's a lot more to it than just that. So when I found this website I was delighted to see what happens behind the scenes in that game engine, which helps a lot to make it more like the real pacman. Now they will leave the monster cave the official way and they will Scatter around in their maze area. Next will be to implement the Chase and Frightened modes and the rules which come with that.

I also wrote some evasion tactics for Pacman, I couldn't find something suitable for that yet - but the stuff I came up with seems to do the job well enough for now.
murgh  [author] 1 Feb, 2019 @ 10:56am 
The evasion tactic is simple but efficient: pacman has a 5x5 tiles 'view range' around him, and when a monster enters that 25 tiles grid, pacman will look at the opposite of the monster in a 3x3 tiles area for a free route and take the one as far away from the monster as possible. This won't help him much when several monsters trap him in a corner, but in open space pacman won't stumble right into a monsters' mouth either for no reason.

A little update on the Pacman coding status:
- pacman AI is working and munching all food on the map
- monster AI is working and chasing pacman
- pacman and monsters animate when eating or dying

To do:
- implement fruit so pacman can chase monsters
- make more than 1 level
- and some more tweaking and stuff... :steamhappy:

You will need to place a new Arcade Cabinet: existing ones in your prison won't have the custom report screens.
