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?
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.

Please bring a laptop if you can, if not don't worry we'll work in teams.

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.

I decided to start Reno Motorcycle Riders Group because I wanted to be part of a group of people who enjoyed my passion... I was excited and nervous. Our group has grown by leaps and bounds. I never thought it would be this big.

A 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.
