After his outstanding participation in the thirteenth edition of NOMAM's BASIC Ten-Liners, the Chilean programmer Víctor "Vitoco" Parada presents his most recent creation: «Pac-10Liner».
After five days of hard work and dedication, Vitoco has brought to life “Pac-10Liner”, written in FastBasic 4.6 especially for the ATARI XL/XE 8-bit computers.In this exciting game, players take on the role of Pac-man, the famous yellow character, as they dodge the cunning ghost Blinky. The mission is clear: clear the row of dots while avoiding being captured by the enemy. However, the real excitement lies in the strategy required to catch the ghost after consuming the power pellet.
By pressing the button, Pac-Man can change direction to avoid Blinky and escape through the sides of the maze. Each level increases in difficulty, with the purple ghost's appearance time decreasing and Blinky's speed increasing.
The inspiration behind "Pac-10Liner" dates back to a Zero Page Homebrew show, where a work-in-progress game called "Pac-Line 2600" was featured for the Atari 2600 console. Parada plans to enter the game in the PUR-120 category of the upcoming NOMAM's BASIC 10-liners 2025 and compete with the best games programmed with a maximum of ten lines of code in BASIC.
At NOMAM's BASIC Ten-Liners 2024, "Vitoco" took second place in the PUR-120 and EXTREM-256 categories with "Fly Hunter 10L" and "Chase Me!", respectively; as well as third place in the PUR-80 category with "Endless Road Runner".
