C Projects Source code - Pacman Game Project

Published October 20, 2021

In this C Project source code series we are going to create a simple Pacman Game Project console game. This Pacman Game has a resemblance with the snake game as the Pacman is driven to move along the predefined path. The blue path is eaten or erased by the Pacman as it moves. You can score more if you eat more paths, this is a game application that has realistic nature and is simple to play.

Pacman Game Project is a c console-based application, designed using code:: Blocks with GCC compiler for entertainment purposes.

Here, the user-defined header file creates the source code, the behavior and moving direction of the Pacman are controlled by the external C files. You can download the source code from the download button below the image and execute it to get a better understanding

This source code consit of all files and objects of the game
