What is this?

This is a project that I created for the subject 31263 Introduction to Computer Game Development at the University of Technology Sydney in 2022. It is a recreation of the classic "Pacman" with different visuals, audio, and enemy behaviour. Level 2 has a new, additional gameplay mechanic that puts a spin on the core game. 

Gameplay

Never played Pacman before? 

  • Consume all of the green pellets to complete the level.  
  • Evade the mutant slimes.
  • Absorb the orbs to make them fear you.
  • Get caught too many times and you become one of them.
  • Collect flasks and defeat enemies to get bonus points! :D

What's in Level 2?

  • The surrounding shadow creeps closer and closer as time marches onward.
  • Absorb the orbs and flasks to restore the light.

Controls

cool take on Pac-man. i like how you've got the turns queued up. would be great if the arrow keys were also supported. 

also could be nice to have levels with more difficulty. something simple such as faster ghost speed?
