A Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man game implementation in Java with levels, timing, ghost "AI" etc. following the details given in the (highly appreciated) Pac-Man Dossier by Jamey Pittman. The Ms. Pac-Man levels probably are not 100% accurate because I could not find a similarly detailed description as the Pac-Man dossier. Any hints?
Source code has been moved to repository pacman-javafx
The code in this project is more "to the point" than the one in my other state-machine focussed implementation.
The implementation follows the Model-View-Controller design pattern:
- The game controller is a finite-state machine with states
- INTRO, CREDIT, READY, HUNTING, LEVEL_STARTING, LEVEL_COMPLETE, PACMAN_DYING, GHOST_DYING, GAME_OVER and INTERMISSION. (See GameState)
- User interfaces can be attached to the model/controller layer using a game event listener interface.
The MVC design allows to implement different user interfaces for Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man without having to recreate the details of the game logic.
As proof of concept I implemented the following two UI variants:
- A Swing UI implementation, see repository pacman-ui-swing (OUTDATED! Must be adapted to core changes).
- A JavaFX UI implementation with play scenes in 2D and 3D, see repository pacman-javafx.
