Pac-Man Game

This Pac-Man game is a classic arcade-style game implemented using pure JavaScript. The game involves controlling the iconic Pac-Man character to eat all the pac-dots and power pellets while avoiding the ghosts.

Features

• Movement: Pac-Man can be controlled using the arrow keys to move up, down, left, or right within the grid. The movement is constrained by walls.
• Objective: The objective of the game is to eat all the pac-dots and power pellets on the grid while avoiding the ghosts. Eating pac-dots increases the player's score.
• Power Pellets: Eating power pellets temporarily allows Pac-Man to eat the ghosts, adding extra points to the player's score.
• Ghost Behavior: The ghosts move randomly around the grid, changing direction when they encounter a wall or another ghost.
• Game Over / Win: The game ends if Pac-Man collides with a ghost without eating a power pellet. If Pac-Man eats all the pac-dots and power pellets (reaching a score of 274), the player wins.
• UI Elements: The game includes UI elements such as a score display, start screen, game over screen, and win screen to provide feedback to the player.

Technologies Used

• HTML/CSS: Used for structuring the game layout and styling.
• JavaScript: Implemented the game logic, including character movement, collision detection, scoring, and game state management.

Implementation Details

• Event Listeners: Event listeners are used to detect keyboard inputs to control Pac-Man's movement and start the game.
• Game Loop: The game employs a game loop to continuously update the game state and handle character movement.
• Classes: JavaScript classes are utilized to define the Pac-Man character and the ghosts, encapsulating their properties and behavior.
• Grid System: The game is based on a grid system where each cell represents a part of the game environment, allowing for easy movement and collision detection.
