Arcade Game
Solo Project - Spring 2025
Total Development Time: 1 Week
Pac-Man 3D is a faithful re-creation of the original Pac-Man arcade cabinet with modern updates including widescreen and 3D graphics.
This game was a project for my SGD 285 (Software Development) class. I was tasked to include the basic components of the game, like the player movement, enemy ai movement, pellets, score tracking, and of course the level for the player and NPC's to navigate in. I've always admired the original Pac-Man, and wanted to make this as faithful of a recreation as possible by adding features like:
Each ghost has unique behavior (Orange flees Pac-Man up close, Blue will try to flank Pac-Man, etc.)
Original 3D models of Pac-Man and the ghosts
Player input buffer from the original game (inputting a direction early will make Pac-Man automatically move in that direction as soon as possible)
Authentic sound effects and music from the original
Optional 2D mode
Updated graphics with heavy inspiration from the source material.
Updated lighting effects for a modern touch
