About The Project

Game Interface

The project is the first to get me in touch with Java interfaces and the use of JPanel forms. The main goal was making a functional and playable PacMan game. It is also my first time using Threads in programming.

The main functions the game has are:

• Being able to play a game with the main options: start, pause, resume and exit
• Gaining different points depending on the dot it eats
• Saving each game the highest score
• PacMan has 3 lives
• Functional chrono for each game

Usage

To play the game is just as simple as the PacMan game.
Press the button Start to start playing, move your keyboard arrows to move the PacMan.
It's important to keep the mouse pointer inside the game intermface for the controls to work.
Use the Pause and Resume button to pause and restart the game (the chrono will stop too).

Press the Exit button to close the program.
