Abstract

All games are made up of different objects and the way that these objects behave. Pac-Man has objects such as Pac-Man himself, the ghosts, pac-dots, power pellets, and walls. Each of these objects has a different behavior. Pac-Man responds to the player's input and can change from being the prey to being the predator by eating a power pellet. This changes the behavior of the ghosts, who are placed into a state where they run away from the player.
