Google Pacman
-------------

This is a copy of Google's playable Pacman game logo hosted for
Pacman's 30th Anniversary.

With the help of StackOverflow users, we were able to get a playable
version working 100%.

To play a live version: http://macek.github.com/google_pacman/

Or download the source and run it offline.





Sound in Offline Mode
---------------------

A snippet from Adobe.com

> For example, a trusted local HTML file may permit an untrusted local SWF to script it by setting allowScriptAccess="always". However, an untrusted local HTML file may never permit an untrusted local SWF to script it, regardless of the value of allowScriptAccess.

To have flash trust your local SWF, you must add your google_pacman
folder to the allow list using your Flash Control Panel.

1. Adobe Flash Control Panel: 
   http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/settings_manager03.html

2. Click `Edit Locations`

3. Click `Add Location`

4. Browse to your `google_pacman` directory

5. Click `Confirm`
