I made pac-man by making a sphere. I found two ways to do this since there isn't a sphere tool. you can either go to the 3-D warehouse or create one by perpendicularly intersecting two congruent circles and using the follow me tool. For the ghost I made a sphere and erased the bottom half of it.

  1. Wow, Aaron, I'm really impressed with this. The ghost looks awesome, and pac-man has this...eerie...feel about him. I bet you could use these pieces and make a whole 3-d maze if you wanted. Yeah, you could just set up walls with rectangles and then make the dots by copy/pasting a sphere around between the walls.

  2. Nice job replicating Pac-man. He reminds me of when the earliest computer game programs first came out. Was that in the late 70s? I recently saw a history program on television that featured a story about the first computer game (resembled the volley of playing tennis). The designer didn't originally patent the game because it was just meant to provide visitors to his company with a hands-on, introductory experience with computers. Just think about those lost royalties!
