Un pacman en C

Pacman 0.5

Pacman 0.5 is a game created on the occasion of the UIT Pacman Project. The goal was to try to recreate the mythical game using only the C Programming language. For almost two months we have been trying to create our version of Pacman. At the end of the project we were able to design a pacman that was visually but somewhat lacking in fluidity. It’s with great pleasure that we present you our creation: Pacman 0.5

Prerequisites

This project needs a graphical library which is called SDL in order to work. It is made for Debian systems and needs some dependencies. You can install those by typing: sudo apt install libsdl1.2debian libsdl1.2-dev libsdl-ttf2.0-0 libsdl-ttf2.0-dev

How to use

The project does not need to be compiled, it has already been. Once downloaded, the project folder will look like this:

Item	Description
BMP	folder containing all the .bmp images needed
data	folder containing all the .txt levels, scores etc
lib	folder containing the graphical library
obj	folder containing the obj files
src	folder containing the code
debug.sh	A script we have used to debug the program
makefile	The file used for compilation
start.sh	The script for starting the program

---

In order to play you might want to set the start script as executable, so cd into the project folder and type chmod +x start.sh Once this is done you’re good to go! Just type ./start.sh

What is working ?

Even though this project was created by two great developers, it has some flaws due to time limits, but it is still very somehow playable. Here is what is working:

Functionality	State
menu	works
player movements	works
ghosts movements	works (almost)
pac-gums collecting	works
bonus collecting	works
end game	works
score writing	works
score viewing	works
game restart	not working

Acknowledgements

Of course, we didn't know much about programming since this is our first year, so our teachers helped us a lot. We want to thank Laurent Marsan for giving us a skeleton of the project and teaching us how to get into it, Danièle Gardy who helped us too and special mention to Lin Yu Wang who was always there when we were screaming at our monitors and insulting all of those weird bearded guys who invented the C language. Finally, we'll thank our english teacher, Miss Hoguin without whom we wouldn't be able to write such great and structured phrases.

Who are we?

We are two students from the UIT of Vélizy, FR. We have created this project for school purposes.

I want to contribute!
