Much like the classic arcade game of a similar name, this game brings a fun way to help maintain pace and increase distance. The object of the game is to collect as many dots as possible before being eaten by a ghost or before quitting the activity. If your current speed slows down too much for longer than 5 seconds, the ghost will take a life. You have a total of 3 lives before losing the game.
- surprise ghosts
- when enabled, a ghost will randomly appear in front of you and you must turn around and run in the opposite direction to escape the ghost.
- bonus mode
- after collecting X dots, you will have the ability to enter "bonus mode" which gives you the opportunity to chase the ghosts. If you maintain a faster speed for X number of seconds then you will have "caught" the ghost and will be awarded X number of bonus dots.
- Chasing ghost increases speed
- when enabled, the chasing ghost will randomly increase its speed causing you to increase your speed in order to avoid being caught for X number of seconds.
Download and install the Garmin Connect IQ SDK if you haven't already. Edit
the CONNECT_IQ_SDK_DIR in build.py to point to the SDK's installation
directory. Start up the simulator. Then, run build.py -d <device name>.
For example, for the Forerunner 920xt
$ build.py -d fr920xt
This will build the binaries and place them in the bin/ directory then
push them to the simulator where you should see the main game screen.
Run build.py -h for help and other available options.

v0.2 - Tested on some hardware
- Add checks for the Attention tones and vibrations
- Hardware devices do not currently support ActivityRecording so the session recording has been commented out.
- There is a bug with setting a variable to one of the Attention tone enums, so the enums are used directly.
-
v0.1 - Initial Release
- Basic app setup. Simple game logic.
