you get an error while uploading? or you uploaded and then can't select? (if the latter, its likely an issue with characters, like a & or apostrophe. just take'em out and reupload)
not the joe q parts -- thats not the engine. all user-added stuff is quickly referred to as "content".
the "engine" is what fyrebug provides. its how the game plays, and the layout of the maze -- pretty much everything but the graphics and sounds.
even though, in concept, a pacman engine was one of my favorites, and was actually our first one built and the one we more or less pitched the company on... the final product that you see above came out ...assy. through no fault of doc or anyone else -- it was our faults.
its playable, and it works, and its got the pacman feel, but... it needed help.
so, for the past week or two, we've been planning and patching up the engine -- NOT the parts of the game users added. we'll likely upload the new one soon.
the really extra neat-o part about this whole process is that when we upload the fixed engine, it will repair every game that was already made! so doc's game, for example. all the work he put into picking the sound and music and characters and such, all of that will remain and be enhanced with the new look and layout! without him having to do anything!
so, for posterity, here's the version he originally made. and then in a few days, or maybe even a few hours, you'll be able to compare it to the original
from now on, all "muncher" (pacman) games will sport this new engine
its not just increased graphic size and better maze mapping, and removal of black "blob" ... the gameplay is also 100% better, and more "arcade authentic"
I've been working on my game that uses the engine. I'm still not quite happy with all the sounds because some of them ended up "chipmunky" when I uploaded them.
And, to be fair, one of my favorite friends there is blind and I take every opportunity available to make fun of that and we're still friends. That guy never fit there. He never got the spirit of the RKMBs. We're gonna keep an eye on the obits, see if he finally left or if he really did have a heart attack. 2,506,410.81 CAD Rack points

it depends on mp3 quality. most mp3s are 128 bit rate / 44 sample rate. on occasion, you'll run into those that are not. if they are not, they often play screwy -- not just on fyrebug, but on anything. its like, in old school speak, getting a 33 record, and playing it at 25. its a disaster.
best answer: you can use an online converter, or download a "free" sound editor, like a goldwave to fix.

yessir, gifs are fine.
animated gifs, not yet. though, even those will work a little -- when you upload an animated gif, the cropper will just grab the first frame.
