Pacman

A pacman game loaded with weapons and fully customizable with lots of themes :)

Installation

1. Clone the repository
2. Run the script chmod +x install_script.sh && sudo ./install_script.sh
3. Build the game using make

Note: The install script has been written for a ubuntu system and will not work on windows system. Try running the script in WSL instead.

Usage

Run make run in the same directory and a game window will popup. The game is presented with several options to choose from 1 player or 2 player or change the settings.

To run in single player mode, choose 1 player. For 2 player mode choose 2 player mode, this will spawn a server on the window that was launched initially. To connect to the server using a client run make run args=<IP> where <IP> is the IP address of the machine on the network. A similar window will spawn and choose 2 player in the newly spawned window to automatically connect to the server. The 2 player game will now start on both sides and the players can enjoy the game. :)

Default Controls

1. Use arrow keys to navigate through the maze.
2. Every player has two sets of weapons which can be switched by pressing 1 or 2.
3. The weapons can be fired by pressing F and reloaded by pressing R.
4. The second player controls the enemies and can switch between enemies by pressing Tab.

2. The large number of themes with cool sound effects wouldn't have been possible without the Unity Asset Store
3. Thanks to Shaun Lebron's months of research, we were able to create random pacman like mazes in our game!!! [Note this is Different from the DFS algorithm for maze generation also used in this game]
