batch5-pacman

Overview:

Multiplayer PacMan game which is very similar to the classic pacman game, along with the option to play with a random player.

Goals:

Build the Multiplayer PacMan game which would work smoothly with various fun features and should be user engaging.

Gameplay Logic:

Pacman should move in four directions.
There are four Ghosts in total.
Ghosts are initially in the “monster pen” which is at the center of the maze, emerging from it.
On every intersection, ghost direction is computed pseudorandomly.
If PacMan gets captured by a ghost, a life is lost and then the ghosts are returned to their pen.
There are 244 dots in the maze, 240 normal dots with ten points each and four energizers with 50 points each.
When the PacMan consumes the ghosts, 200 points are added.
Bonus Symbols (fruits) - Two in total.
