# Packman

![](resources/images/logo.png)

Much like the classic arcade game of a similar name, this game brings a fun

way to help maintain pace and increase distance. The object of the game is

to collect as many dots as possible before being eaten by a ghost or before

quitting the activity. If your current speed slows down too much for longer

than 5 seconds, the ghost will take a life. You have a total of 3 lives before

losing the game.

## Future features

* surprise ghosts

  * when enabled, a ghost will randomly appear in front of you and you must

    turn around and run in the opposite direction to escape the ghost.

* bonus mode

  * after collecting X dots, you will have the ability to enter "bonus mode"

    which gives you the opportunity to chase the ghosts. If you maintain

    a faster speed for X number of seconds then you will have "caught" the

    ghost and will be awarded X number of bonus dots.

* Chasing ghost increases speed

  * when enabled, the chasing ghost will randomly increase its speed 

    causing you to increase your speed in order to avoid being caught

    for X number of seconds.

## Development

Download and install the Garmin Connect IQ SDK if you haven't already. Edit 

the `CONNECT_IQ_SDK_DIR` in `build.py` to point to the SDK's installation

directory. Start up the simulator. Then, run `build.py -d `.

For example, for the Forerunner 920xt

```

$ build.py -d fr920xt

```

This will build the binaries and place them in the `bin/` directory then

push them to the simulator where you should see the main game screen.

Run `build.py -h` for help and other available options.

## Changelog

* v0.2 - Tested on some hardware

  * Add checks for the Attention tones and vibrations

  * Hardware devices do not currently support ActivityRecording so

    the session recording has been commented out.

  * There is a bug with setting a variable to one of the Attention

    tone enums, so the enums are used directly.

* v0.1 - Initial Release

  * Basic app setup. Simple game logic.
