Trial 3 - Group I

Trial 3 - Group II

A very tired Pac-Lan.

Mr Pink before he became Pac-Lan ?!

The players in the 2nd full-scale trial.

Inky anticipates his next move.

A Normal Pill. Pac-Lan collects these for points. Ghosts collect these to increase their kill timer. Both collect for points and positional updates.

A power pill. Once collected, Pac-Lan has 60 seconds in which he can kill the ghosts (by tagging the RFID on their back).

Screenshot from the Monitor application running on a Nokia 6680. This can act as a spectator client and allows for resetting the server state.

Screenshot from the Nokia 5140 Ghost client. Fitting the game map onto the Nokia 5140's 128x128 pixel screen was quite a challenge.

Screenshot 2 from the Monitor application.

Screenshot 3 from the Monitor application.

Small-scale outdoor test of the application.

The pills were arranged in the same positions as the actual map.

Pac-Lan eats a pill by touching the RFID tag with the handset.

A ghost's position is updated when they tag a pill.
