Goals of the project
The purpose of this project is to make Pacman game more enjoyable for a user playing the game. We added three features to improve the game:
(1) The ablility to choose between one or two players
As a game player, you will be able to choose the number of players, so that you can play by yourself or with another player.
(2) The ability to choose between one to four ghosts
As a game player, you will be able to change the number of ghosts, so that you can change the level of difficulty of the game.
(3) The ability to customize the avatars of the game characters.
As a game player, you will be able to change the appearance of the ghosts and Pacman, so that you can customize the game to your liking.
