Welcome to the Pacman Experiment

  The purpose of this experiment is to link types of players to examples of different styles of play, as exhibited in Pacman. Thus, you'll be asked to download and play an implementation of Pacman, then complete a survey designed to identify what type of player you are.

This is not the original Pacman, and although it's fairly self-explanatory, you should try to become familiarised if you have time.

It's probably a good idea to scan the README installed with Pacman, and play the game a few times just to get used to it.
  To get the data to me for the games you play, look under this path C:\PacPlayd\Logs
The contents of that folder should zip down to a nice size for emailing! The survey will take care of sending results by itself. Remember, for the integrity of the experiment you must complete both: the DGD play styles survey, and at least one Pacman game.

< Click here to download Pacman > To install for Windows, simply unzip Pacman.rar and double click the setup.exe file. Accept the DirectX installer - it won't alter your current configuration if you already have everything the game needs.

< Click here to take the survey > Remember to turn off your pop-up blocker before submitting your answers or you may not see your results!

In the case of technical issues, send an email to zenphd AT googlemail DOT com, describing the nature of the problem and quoting your operating system details if you know them.
