QB64 Pac-Man Clone

Sorry that I'm just now responding to this. I didn't see it until now. You are free to modify the code any way you wish and share it with others. There is no need for you to share your changes with me for approval or anything like that.

That being said I need to mention that I believe Pac-Man is still the property of NamCo. I wrote the code as an educational tool to aid others in game programming and cited this at the top of the code. If you plan to distribute anything with the Pac-Man (maybe even the ghosts) character for profit you may run into trouble.

Terry, 

You are correct regarding NamCo still being the property owners. And anyone monetizing at ant level from the likeness could find themselves in a unfavorable situation rather fast. 

This is something I am putting out there for fun and totally free. I just want to be sure none of the sources used are in no way offended by my adaptations.

Thanks for ringing in as I would have not move forward without first seeing some sort of feedback.

Awesome code by the way, I have always believed the notation of the code is it's true foundation of strength.

As long as you keep your project free and for educational purposes only you should be ok.

Very debatable, what's the line between education and entertainment when it comes to game creation?

I think money is main concern, if anyone wants to try and make money off other people's work then that of course will draw lawyers like flies.

But even when we aren't concerned with money you still might have to worry about giving credit, though who is going to get upset enough to call a lawyer, only if code goes viral I think. So you are probably safe, is that same as OK? 

OK legally or OK probably safe?
