Pac-Man

This is the capstone project for Programming 3. Written using C# and Avalonia.

Disclaimer

I did NOT make technical decisions about the stack, so I didn't choose C#, Avalonia nor the MVVM pattern. They're all terribly inefficient for a game.

Features

• Framerate independent physics engine
• Pellets and power pellets
• Original map (tiles and style)
• Original ghost AI
• Original quirks, like the safe spot where no ghost can reach you
• Original graphics
• Cherries and other fruits that provide extra lives
• Separate threads for UI, physics and monitoring of both
• Separate frontend and backend

Project structure

• AvaloniaMvvmRenderer/ main solution, includes a MVVM-based Avalonia UI connected to the back end
• AvaloniaRenderer/ contains the custom renderer implementation, loads animations, sprites, etc.
• GameEngine/ contains the physics engine, ghost AI and behavior, score tracking, level management, etc.
