Pacman is a classic arcade game developed by Namco in 1980. The game revolves around a yellow circular character named Pac-Man, who must navigate a maze and consume pellets while avoiding four ghosts: Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde. The objective is to clear the maze by eating all the pellets and reaching the highest score possible.
To play Pacman, use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move the character left, right, up, or down. You can also use the space bar to pause the game. Avoid bamboo shoots, which will slow down your character, and don't get caught by the ghosts, as this will result in a life loss. The game starts with three lives, and each time you get caught by a ghost, you lose one life.
Some tips to improve your gameplay include starting with the bottom of the maze and moving up, as this will give you a better view of the ghosts. Also, try to eat the power pellets, which will turn the tables and allow you to eat the ghosts for a short period. This can be a game-changer, especially when you're low on lives.
Pacman is compatible with various platforms, including Windows, macOS, and Linux. The game can be played in a window
