CPE 471 Final Project

. . . . Pac-Man

Ka-Shing Chan

Instructor: Dr. Zoë J. Wood

Overview

The maze is based on the original work of Pac-Man. And the rules are just the same. (e.g. The pill at the corner will strengthen Pac-Man) Basically, all the characters and objects are texture mapped. Blending is applied to the Monsters/Ghosts to make them look translucent. And the fountain is implemented by particle system. (The fountain will slow down the game, turn it off when you start playing) Try turning the light on, it looks better.
