David Sobrinski from Sobrinski Painting sent me a spreadsheet he's very proud of — it's a Pacman game for Excel.
I like the old school ANSI BBS feel. Use the direction keys to move Pacman, but be prepared for the speed of the game. If you get eaten, you respawn but you lose your session and have to start over from the beginning.
I notice that the ghosts don't come out until you reach the top half of the board. That lets you clear out the bottom half without having to dodge them. Looks like they are trying to go directly to Pacman, but can't go through the wall.
The code is a bit raw and I see some opportunities for optimization. But I'm pretty confident that I could never write something like this from scratch. Kudos to Dave for the effort!
Please check it out and leave a comment letting him know your thoughts.
