The only version I ever did was English. ;)

Well, why not make an update and add the Russian version in the settings? This will be cool

The link to it is in the Deluxe Pacman 2 start folder. Click start->Recently Added->D->Deluxe Pacman 2 then you'll see the level editor in t hat folder along with other files, text etc.

​@@NeilRoy Well, actually, I already found it. I need to write “level editor” in the application search and I’ll find it. But thanks anyway :)

Well... they are ghosts... cursed to spend eternity being eaten by this strange yellow creature with a pill addiction. 😜

I mostly programmed it from scratch, in the C programming language using the Allegro library which helps quite a bit. I started it back in the 1990s for DOS, but updated it for Windows and ultimately created Deluxe Pacman 2 for modern Windows (it works on Windows 10) using the Allegro 5 library. Sadly, it's faded away from use. These days I would highly recommend Learning to program in C or C++ and use the SDL2 library as many AAA games have been created with it. I find it much more gratifying to do most of it myself. If you want an engine to use which is totally free and does most of it for you and allows you to focus on making your game, than I highly recommend the GODOT Game Engine. It's VERY versatile, uses mainly a version of the Python scripting language which a lot of engines use as it is super easy to learn. Don't delay! Make that game! You can do it! You're SO blessed these days as there wasn't much of an internet filled with tutorials and free information when I started. I started to learn C from a BOOK (QBASIC TO C). There's no excuse not to do it. Do it, I know you can. Let me know if you do anything. ❤👍

As for my sound samples, yeah, I won't sue you if you use any, BUT, I would recommend you learn to make your own. It wasn't difficult for me to do. I used Audacity for most of them. There's TONS of tutorials on how to make your own. For example, when you eat a blue Ghost, it says "ow!", that was my late wife doing that. I got her to say "Ow!" four times into a cheap microphone, loaded those sounds into Audacity (free sound editing software) and simply raised the pitch of her voice and that is what you hear now. In another game I needed a cannon shot. I set my microphone on my desk (again, it was a cheap one) and I dropped a book near it. Loaded it into Audacity, adjusted the pitch and speed (probably lowered it) and voila, I had a great cannon sound. There's also some great free software where you can generate various sound effects and save them. I used one of those for some of my sounds as well. I forget the name of it, but do a search online for "free sound effect generator". You can do this. It's WAY more fun to do it yourself and you will more proud of your work. I created all my graphics myself, just used free software to do it all. Look for tutorials etc.

@@NeilRoy Thanks for the example sounds!) But with the game engine I will probably use Unity. And since I don’t really understand 2D projects, video tutorials on KZbin will help me a lot :) (By the way, I actually speak Russian, I use a translator. Congratulations, you have your first Russian subscriber😊)

That's an old version of the game. I posted the source code to my games, feel free to fix it. :) That version was originally programmed for DOS, then later adapted for Windows. Deluxe Pacman 2 was made solely for Windows. I'm not certain about a "control bug", this is the first I have heard of it.

​@@NeilRoy Thank you! I just had time to notice that in deluxe pacman 2 the controls have been fixed and you can move on ASW D. But when I lose, there is a terrible laugh and a bloody inscription “GAME OVER”. This was probably unnecessary, if the children played, they would have nightmares. Good thing I'm 13 years old

I'm still around. 😉

It's definitely possible. Just I have never done that before. It is something I have considered though, but their would be a learning curve for me. I programmed the game so the code is not specific to any platform. I used cross platform libraries and tools to compile it. I have been thinking about making a version 3, and maybe for mobile. Time will tell.

@@NeilRoy a Pac-Man deluxe 3 sounds cool and a mobile port would work. But if you ever make a mobile port, maybe it could have the level editor

@@Brax_kit The way I made my DP2 level editor would probably work well for a mobile as you basically draw the lines in, which you could do with your finger and it auto-fills the level with pills etc. I wouldn't mind. I don't know if you have DOS Box style emulators for mobile or not. If you did, you could download my older DOS version and run it with that. <shrug> Actually, the DOS version can be run on a wide range of platforms that have a DOS emulator.

Maybe I should get a dos box emulator

Hangly man? LOL... make it!!! You never know how much people may like it. hehehe I mainly made this for my late wife (who sadly died in 2021 to cancer). Her picture is in the credits of Deluxe Pacman 2.

That's awesome! Tell her I said hello and that I am glad she likes it. I originally made this with a special woman in mind, my late wife. Sadly, she passed away from cancer in 2021, you can see her picture in the credits of Deluxe Pacman 2. There's also a level editor for it if you check the Windows menu, it's fun to use if she ever wants to try her hand at her own levels. I made it fool proof, you click validate and it will detect any errors or missing items. God bless you back.

And also Pac-Man with normal eyes. Instead of his signature "pie" eyes

Thanks. That makes me feel good about it. I originally created it for my wife, who missed playing the Amiga version which wasn't available on the PC. Her picture is in the credits. Sadly, she died of cancer in 2021. But I am always happy to hear that someone enjoyed it growing up. ❤👍

I started Deluxe Pacman 2 in 2009. If you check the journal for the game development (in the DOCs section for the game) you can follow my development (it is lengthy, but has dates, times, problems etc). 2018 was the last time I worked on it, so... over 9 years working on it. But that was just this version, version 2. I originally started the first version, Deluxe Pacman 1 for DOS back around 1998 - 2000. Mainly to remake the Amiga version of the game (with Edgar Vigdal's permission) for the PC for my late wife (who died 22 months ago, sadly). And I updated it for the various versions of Windows since then.

Arcade style games don't typically have a story to them, so nope, no ending except the final level you may play. There's a level editor where you can make more.

@@NeilRoy oh thanks but you really did and build this entire game, because my mom was to good playing the first one. I see them reaching levels like 79 or 205

@@Graham34carrrot Yeah, I made this from scratch, all the graphics, sound effects, programming etc... are my own. You can download Deluxe Pacman 1 or 2 for older or newer Windows or even the older DOS version at my github page for free as always. I even have the source code available if you program. nitehackr.github.io/games_index.html

I'm now 58 years old... I started working on this game when I was around 35. I originally created this game for my wife whom I loved and would do anything for. She died in 2021 after being diagnosed with cancer and she only lasted four months, so... EXCUSE me if I haven't felt like working on a game very much while I have been spending my days CRYING!!!

@@NeilRoy i can make one pacman deluxe, so you dont cry!

Hope ur okay now. May her soul rest in peace.

@@AnswerDoesNotExist Thanks. It's been really rough. For the first year after her death I cried every day without fail. It has eased up now, but still miss her terribly. Without her this game would not exist, not by me anyhow. Her picture is in the CREDITS section of Deluxe Pacman 2 (and her best friend who has been a huge support for me). I had started to make a Deluxe Pacman 3... I still might finish it some day as a memorial version in her memory, not sure. I had a ton of financial problems since her death I needed to iron out as well.

Very carefully with a lot of practice. 😛

I will take a wild guess, but i think the coin was placed at the back of his left hand by his right thumb at the beggining. Impressive hand work, and it was hard to notice because your eyes don´t focus on the coin, good job!

@@benedictoneto7390 You guessed it. This was my first attempt at this. Was fun to try out. The tricky part was keeping it from sliding off the back of my hand. ;)

@@NeilRoy im trying to make it like mario forever

Yeah, I remember a really old game that used to do that and I was inspired to add that to my game, just for fun. ;)

Glad you enjoyed it. Feels weird to have people say that. I originally created this for my wife Wanda (her picture is in Deluxe Pacman 2's credits) who, sadly, died last year of cancer. She's the reason this game, at least for the PC, exists.
