New version of pac man

I'll start with the background behind this radical idea.
Often people are amazed at how I can independently do different things with each hand and either hand. I'm right handed, but the left can do everything the right can.

It takes practice. And it's mind over matter. Fairly simple.

Now, the old arcade pacman had a simple joy stick... and looking at my Game Pad... there's two Joysticks on it. So, by having two characters on one game, you'll teach yourself some extreme multitasking and perhaps some new mental skills...or ending up in the loony bin.

Wadda think?

Hell, i'de say go for it. Loony bin ain't so bad, got kicked out there last year because i was having too much fun.

I think it's not a bad idea, but you can expand upon it!
Instead of just 2 pac mans, you can make it so additional pac man come in, and you switch with the L1/L2 R1/R2 buttons and multitask large amounts of pac man, eventually creating a pac man army hunting down ghosts and scattering at the sight of them, eventually this could lead to a developed RTS micro-intense starcraft clone pac man wars game

hhhmm, how about controlling both pacmen using motion tracking with your hands, captured through a normal webcam.
I recently got intrested in motion tracking (after seeing natal) and wrote a small app to track the biggest object in a chosen colour range, it was rather straight forward since there are already existing frameworks to handle the tricky bits.
Oooh this could fun...
