Pac-Man

University of São Paulo - São Carlos

2nd Semester of 2017

Project made for the course "SCC0604 - Object-Oriented Programming", ministered by Professor Luiz Eduardo Virgilio Silva.

This project was originally made by:

• Tiago Toledo Junior (https://github.com/TNanukem)
• Thiago Músico (https://github.com/ThiagoMusico)
• Lucas Akira Morishita (https://github.com/lucas-akira)
• Guilherme Blatt (https://github.com/guilherme-blatt)

Brief description and objective

Version of the arcade game Pac-Man made in Java, using the IDE NetBeans 8.2. The goal of this project is to apply object-oriented concepts (like classes, inheritance, encapsulation, etc.) learnt during class in a practical way.

This project was based on a framework made by professor Luiz Eduardo and Jose Fernando Junior. The file "PacMan_Alunos - Arquivos Originais.zip" has this framework from which we developed the project.

The 'Complete project requirements' section (coming soon) contains the English translation of the original PDF file (Projeto-Pacman.pdf) describing the project to be made (in Portuguese) with all the requirements imposed by the professor.

(some) Project features

• Three stages

• Each ghost has a different behavior:

  • Blinky : Chases the player with movement based on Pac-Man's current direction, with a random factor;
  • Pinky : Tries to trap Pac-Man by moving parallel to him, with a random factor;
  • Inky : Moves randomly while Blinky is far from it, and behaves similarly as Blinky when the red ghost is close to it;
  • Clyde : Behaves similarly as Blinky while the player is far from it, and moves randomly when Pac-Man approaches.

• Power pellet : Gives 50 points and the ability to temporarily eat the ghosts. For each consecutive ghost eaten the amount of earned points doubles, starting at 200.

• Two fruits (extra points):

  • Cherry : Gives 100 points. Appears each 50 seconds;
  • Strawberry : Gives 300 points. Appears each 75 seconds.
