Overview:
This project is a Pac-Man-inspired game where the player navigates a grid while avoiding enemies. The enemies use the A algorithm* for pathfinding, making them increasingly challenging as the game progresses.
The game is designed for entertainment and education, showcasing how algorithms like A* can be applied in interactive applications.
Features:
- Grid-Based Gameplay: Navigate a grid as the player and collect points.
- Pathfinding Enemies: Enemies use the A* algorithm to chase the player dynamically.
- Increasing Difficulty: Enemy speed increases as you collect more points.
- Score Tracking: Keep track of your high scores using local storage.

A* Algorithm The A* algorithm is implemented to guide enemies toward the player. It calculates the shortest path based on the grid layout while avoiding obstacles.
Grid Representation The game uses a grid data structure where each cell is represented by a value:
- 0: Wall (impassable).
- 1: Path (walkable).
- 3: Player's position.
- 4: Collectible points. Development:
The game is written in modern JavaScript and utilizes modular design for better code organization.
