1) Create costumes

5) Hilarity!
What is PacMacro? In a nutshell, it's Pacman, substituting the characters with real people, and the game board with an urban grid.
Following in the footsteps of Pac Manhattan, a group of us from the School of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University, British Columbia, will soon be conducting our very own game of PacMacro -- although only a trial-run -- in downtown Vancouver.
We've just completed the costume phase of the plan, and had great fun confusing innocent bystanders in randomly chosen locations of gathering.
Playtest #1 of PacVan will occur, weather permitting, on Saturday, August 28th. If you're in the area, just remember that those weird people in colourful sheets running after a guy wearing a big yellow circle are supposed to be there. ;)
