A simple game of tasty asterisks and deadly exclamation marks.

Nopac, which is definitely Not Pac-Man, is a simple game of moving your question mark avatar around a randomly generated serious of 15 progressively more difficult dungeons, trying to eat all the orbs whilst avoiding deadly exclamation marks. Occasionally you can get your own back on the pesky foes by eating asterisks, which temporarily turns them into edible commas.

I made it to teach myself the Pascal programming language whilst at sixth-form college.

Building Nopac

The Nopac source code is designed to compile with the Free Pascal Compiler, version 2.6.0. There are no other dependencies. It may work with more recent versions of FPC, though I have not checked. I have included an example make.bat file, but you'll need to edit it to match the specific directory structures you're using.

Can I play it without building it myself?

Yes! I have uploaded a pre-built Win32 binary, Have a look in Releases.
