Pacman Kata
The Skills Matter eXchange (map)
Pacman finds himself in a grid filled with monsters. Will he be able to eat all the dots on the board before the monsters eat him?
- pacman is on a grid filled with dots
- pacman eats dots
- pacman stops on walls
- ghosts follow pacman...
Lets start the new year with a hands-on coding Kata by implementing Pacman. Suitable for people new to F# who'd like to learn more and for more experienced F# developers looking to practice their skills.
See: http://codingdojo.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?KataPacMan
We'll start with a maze and some graphics running inside Visual Studio or the browser using http://tryfsharp.org and targeting WPF, Silverlight and HTML/JavaScript.
See: http://fssnip.net/9V
Please bring a laptop if you can, if not don't worry we'll work in teams.

Lee OadesA little bit too unstructured for my liking. The Pacman idea is really good except that on closer examination, it is a little bit too complicated for a couple of hours hacking. It would definitely work as an ongoing project though as there is a lot of functionality to build. Also, as an F# newbie, I would have benefited more from a structured coding demo rather than being left to get on with it - but I realise that this was a kata so not really intended to be that.

Visiting from California, looking forward to meeting with the F# community from the other side of the Atlantic! And to help Pacman survive against the ghosts of course.
