Pacman Game

A simple Pacman game implementation using JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas.

Features

• Smooth movement with directional controls.
• Collision detection with walls and ghosts.
• Eating mechanic that increases the score.
• Animated Pacman sprite with mouth opening/closing.
• Rotates sprite based on movement direction.

How It Works

• The game map is represented as a 2D array (map), where:
  • 1 = Wall
  • 2 = Food pellet
  • 3 = Empty space after eating pellet
• Pacman moves in the current direction unless blocked by a wall.
• Pacman can change direction if the new direction is not blocked.
• When Pacman moves over a pellet, it is eaten and the score increases.
• Collision with ghosts triggers game over.

Setup and Usage

1. Clone or download the repository.
2. Open the index.html file in a modern web browser.
3. Use arrow keys (or configured controls) to move Pacman around the maze.

Code Highlights

• Pacman class manages player movement, animation, collision, and eating logic.
• Uses sprite sheet animation cycling every 100ms.
• Collision detection based on Pacman’s position relative to the map grid.
• Direction constants ensure clean and understandable movement logic.

Dependencies

• None (Vanilla JavaScript and HTML5 Canvas)
