🎮 Pacman Game in Java

Welcome to the Pacman Game in Java, a fully functional Pac-Man clone built using Java and Java Swing. This project follows a structured approach with routing, state management, and a dynamic game environment.

📚 Introduction

This game brings the classic Pac-Man experience to life with smooth controls and a well-structured architecture. Users can navigate Pac-Man through a maze while avoiding ghosts and collecting points.

✨ Features

• Full Pac-Man Game implemented using Java and Java Swing.

• AppRouter to manage page navigation and state transfer.

• GameData class to distribute data using a Consumer-Listener model.

• Modular Architecture with separate classes for Block, GameMap, etc.

• Smooth Player Controls using arrow keys.

• Multiple Pages:

  • Welcome Page
  • Game Page (Main Pac-Man Game)
  • Game Over Page
  • Settings Page (WIP)
  • Profile Page (WIP)
