A modern, high-performance C++ implementation of the classic Pac-Man arcade game with advanced AI and stunning OpenGL graphics.

• Authentic Pac-Man Experience - Navigate mazes, collect dots, avoid ghosts
• Perfect Collision Detection - Bulletproof wall collision system
• Smart Movement Controls - Intelligent direction changes prevent getting stuck
• Power Pellets - Turn the tables and chase the ghosts!

• 4 Unique Ghost Personalities:
  • Blinky (Red) - Aggressive direct pursuit
  • Pinky (Pink) - Strategic ambush tactics
  • Inky (Cyan) - Complex patrol patterns
  • Clyde (Orange) - Unpredictable behavior
• Multiple Pathfinding Algorithms - Dijkstra, A*, and Backtracking
• Dynamic AI - Ghosts adapt to your playstyle

• OpenGL-Powered Graphics - Hardware-accelerated rendering
• Particle Effects - Beautiful visual feedback for game events
• Smooth 60 FPS Gameplay - Fluid character animations
• Classic Aesthetic - Faithful to the original Pac-Man design

• Progressive Difficulty - Increasingly challenging levels
• Multiple Lives System - Visual life indicators
• Power-Up Mechanics - Temporary ghost vulnerability
• Level Progression - Complete mazes to advance

• C++17 compatible compiler (MSVC, GCC, Clang)
• CMake 3.10+
• OpenGL 3.3+
• GLFW3 and GLEW libraries
