    Google, learn it yourself, or offer to pay someone for it.

    You're not going to find a tutorial on writing a game from start to finish. And we're not going to write one for you. What you'll find, are many tutorials on many different aspects of writing and making a game.

    And if this is homework (I can't think of any other reason why anyone would need pacman in x86 assembly), shouldn't the "learn it myself" part come up at school? Or am I misunderstanding the way universities and colleges work nowadays?

    Any source code you did find would be copy protected and unviewable by the design company unless it was open source software of course. Im in the middle of making a Dizzy clone in pure C. Im doing ok at the moment. That was orginally written in Assembley too in the 80;s

    Dunno - some people seem to think they can learn programming "matrix style" just by reading a few tutorials in a couple of hours.
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    I would love to get Pac Man code in C++. Such classical game that has decent AI in it

    That will only happen if it was re-weritten in C++, which I doubt it will be. Back in those days, most games where written in assemblely. It wasnt untill the early 90's late 80's that C was used ie: Lemmings was a prime example. Although nowdays C++ has become the main languge used, whith a dash of C here and there

    In regards to a decent Assembly language book: my favorite is Assembly Language Primer for the IBM PC and XT. It is rather old...made in 1985 I believe....but the principles it teaches about x86 Assembly are invaluable. Great book!
