This is the classical arcade Pacman developed in Python.
This is configuration file for Pacman Board. 'p' is for pacman, 'g' for ghost, 'f' for fruit and '#' for obstacle. If you want to change the board, make sure that after changes, total characters (including spaces) in each line is same and '#' should be on the border of the board. Put spaces for empty positions.
This file gives next position of ghosts such that it maximizes the current shortest distance form the pacman. It uses Breadth-first Search as a subroutine.
This file does Breadth First Search from pacman position and finds the shortest path to each ghosts. The ghosts uses this path to reach pacman in minimum time.
It is the main program or game. The game runs in the terminal.
It takes board matrix, ghosts, fruits and pacman positions as input and displays in the shell. This program creates visualization in the terminal.
To run the game, execute the command python3 pacman.py on the terminal.
or
To make pacman.py executable, type the following
chmod +x myscript.py
Type ./pacman.py to run.
It is the main program or game. The game runs in a graphical interface and pygame module is needed for it.
The game requires pygame module to run. To install pygame for python, do this on a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t)
sudo apt-get install python-pygame
or
pip install pygame
sudo apt-get install python3-pygame
or
pip3 install pygame
To run the game, execute the command (choose suitable python interpreter) python pacmanGUI.py on the terminal.
or
pacmanGUI is a executable file. Run the game from this file.
or
Create standalone executable file for pacmanGUI.py. To create standalone executable, do these
PyInstaller can be installed using Pip, the Python package manager
pip install pyinstaller
Now, build the executable
pyinstaller --onefile --windowed pacmanGUI.py
