Pac-Man

Table of Contents

Overview

This project is a recreation of the classic 1980 arcade game known as Pac-Man, with over $14 billion generated in revenue! This solo project was developed in Unity using C# as part of my minigames series where I utilize various resources to remake simple games in order to further my learning as well as to have fun!

Pac-Man consists of a maze structure, in which four colored ghosts — Blinky (red), Pinky (pink), Inky (cyan), and Clyde (orange) — pursue him. The goal of the game is to eat all of the dots in the maze, which will allow the player to move onto the next level. Each of the Ghosts have a unique AI behavior, causing them to behave differently when chasing Pac-Man. To aid Pac-Man, there are power pellets in each of the 4 corners of the maze that will grant him the ability to eat ghosts for a limited period of time.

Code

A brief description of all of the classes is as follows:

  • The AnimatedImage class handles the cycling of sprites on a gameobject's Image component, giving the appearance of animation.
  • The AnimatedSprite class handles the cycling of sprites on a gameobject's SpriteRenderer component, giving the appearance of animation.
  • The BlinkyTarget class controls the position of Blinky's (Red Ghost) target position, as well as the visibility of it.
  • The ClydeTarget class controls the position of Clyde's (Orange Ghost) target position, as well as the visibility of it.
  • The Fruit class is attached to each in-game fruit object, and handles the despawning of the object as well as awarding Pac-Man with points on collision.
  • The GameManager class controls the state of the game, such as setting new rounds, updating UI, playing audio, etc.
  • The Ghost class is attached to each Ghost, and holds a reference to all of its attached states as well as the ability to reset & handle collisions with Pac-Man.
  • The GhostBehavior class is an abstract class that is extended by all of the ghost states, and holds some basic enable/disable methods.
  • The GhostChase class handles the chasing state for all of the ghosts using node collisions & target position.
  • The GhostEyes class handles setting the eye sprite to match the direction the Ghost is traveling in.
  • The GhostFrightened class handles the frightened state (including changing Ghost appearance) for all of the ghosts using node collisions.
  • The GhostHome class handles the home state for all of the ghosts, as well as playing the animation for when ghosts leave the home.
  • The GhostRetreat class handles the retreat state for all of the ghosts, which involves the ghost's eyes running back to the home block before respawning.
  • The GhostScatter class handles the scatter state for all of the ghosts, which involves each ghost running to their respective corner of the map.
  • The InkyTarget class controls the position of Inky's (Cyan Ghost) target position, as well as the visibility of it.
  • The MenuController class controls everything in the menu scene, which includes the animation & loading of GameScene.
  • The Movement class handles the movement of Pac-Man & the Ghosts. It stores the current & next travel directions, and translates the object into the current direction.
  • The Node class is attached to each Node (intersection) on the map, and calculates + stores each available direction from said node.
  • The Pacman class handles getting input from the user for which direction to travel into next.
  • The PacmanDeath class handles the animation of Pac-Man's death, as well as its disappearance once the animation is done.
  • The Passage class handles the teleportation of Pac-Man/Ghosts to the other side of the map whenever they pass through.
  • The Pellet class is attached to each in-game dot object, and handles the awarding Pac-Man with points on collision.
  • The PinkyTarget class controls the position of Pinky's (Pink Ghost) target position, as well as the visibility of it.
  • The PowerPellet class is attached to each in-game power dot object, and handles the awarding Pac-Man with points on collision as well as signalling the GameManager to set all of the Ghosts to a frightened state.
