Only when you actually try and create something do you realize what you know, wish you knew, or thought you knew but don't.
So the challenge was to create a Pacman game. I wanted to make something fairly close to the original. For instance I knew that each ghost had its own movment pattern but I did not know what it was. I found this great site that explains the rules of the ghost behavior: Understanding ghost behavior
So the ghost behavior made it into the game.
Other features are:
- Just like the original, the ghosts will attack in waves and then back off and then attack again.
- When you eat a ghost, the eyes zoom back to the home base.
- Pacman can outrun the ghost because it can take corners quicker than the ghosts.
- If you stay too long on a level, then the red ghost will become quite fast. Don't hang around too long.
- And also - there is also a high score table!
