PacMap for Android

People bitch me out for not posting enough Android stuff, but the sad truth is that there's just not that much to talk about. Until today, that is, with a brand new Android title that's currently in beta. It's an "augmented reality" game called PacMap, and it turns the world around you into a giant Pac-Man game.





Using your phone's GPS, a map of your current location can be filled with ghosts and dots while you physically take on the role of the yellow glutton himself.


It's a neat idea and one I'm hopeful for, but the video footage doesn't make it look like a wild ride of thrills and spills. In any case, you can download it yourself at AppBrain and give it a whirl. At least it's not another iOS port, right?


Site of the project is  http://sourceforge.net/projects/pacmap  and as says the author: “Your goal is to eat all the dots. For each dot you will get a point. But beware! Ghosts will try to catch you. Try to avoid them as long as possible”. Attention in traffic....
