I’m sure you all know the game Pac Man, even if you’ve never played it, surely you’ve heard of it. But, just in case you didn’t, here’s what it is: (I’m not really sure how to describe the game, so just watch the video)
Basically, the point of the game is to not get eaten and get all the little dots! If you’ve never played it before, it’s actually a lot harder than it looks (at least for me). So why are we talking about Pac Man? Aside from it being a classic game, I saw this cute video and thought to blog about it. A person named Guillaume Reymond, decided to use people as pixels to create a game of Pac Man. It’s actually pretty cool, check it out:
There are various different videos that uses people as pixels to remake classic games like tetris, space invaders, and a few more. These videos have won the youtube awards, and well I consider it to be very artistic. We know how difficult it is to edit our videos, and working in a group usually present some problems. This is one really fun type of art, and it a lot of work to organize.
For anyone who would like to see more of these people as pixel videos, just google: Guillaume Reymond
Oh and here’s a cute take of Pac Man!
Well, at least this has a sense of humor. Pac man was ground breaking because there was NOTHING like it before. We’ve come a long way in the realm of video games. However, compared with some of the “shoot ’em up” games that exist today, pac-man is like playing chess.
