Packman 3D - just a bit worse

This project was creates as a part of the Computer Graphics course at Reykjavík University. It's a 3D maze game where you have to reach the goal in the middle while avoiding the ghosts on the map.

It was creates in cooperation with @ertolv.

Here is a low quality example:

The actual game looks much nicer and even contains music. It's definitely worth a try if you have 5 minutes to spare :)

Controls

Type	Controls
Movement controls	`[W]`, `[A]`, `[S]`, `[D]`
Vertical control	`[SPACE]`, `[SHIFT]`
Rotation controls	`[<]`, `[^]`, `[v]`, `[>]`
Camera switch	`[M]`
Return to Home	`[H]`
Debug information	`[P]`

You can also use the mouse to rotate the view :)

Installing and running the game

This game uses:

PyOpenGL and pygame for rendering
PyGLM for beautiful math.
Esper for the ECS architecture

You can use to install these requirements:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Use python src/main.py to run the game.

Documentation

We choose an entity component system as our game architecture. The documentation is found in .docs/ecs.md and is definitely worth a read. The lighting system with our addition of light attenuation is documented in .docs/lighting.md. Have fun reading them :D.

(I don't take responsibility for any spelling mistakes. Feel free to fix them, it's sadly not my strong suit)

A small note:

I'm not quite sure when it happened and why, but we swapped the y and z value of the world. This means that x and y are basically the floor while z controls the height above the floor. This is a bit unusual for 3D games, but it seems to work so yay.

Repository

This project was extracted from a previous repository containing several projects.
