2pacman

I have been programming in c more lately so I wanted to write a game in it to
practice and hopefully learn some things. I decided to make a pacman clone. For
a game that seems simple on the surface it has a surprising amount of
complexity and interesting subtleties. I highly recommend checking out The
Pac-Man Dossier which has a ton of really interesting information about pacman.

Resources

The Pac-Man Dossier is amazing, it has everything you need to know about pacman.
Understanding Pac-Man Ghost Behavior is a nice condensed article based on The Pac-Man Dossier.

Dependencies

SDL2

Building

Linux

1. Install SDL2, linux instructions here
2. run make
3. run ./2pacman

Windows

1. Install mingw-w64

• You can find the specific version you want from here.
• The verision I used was version 8.1.0, x86_64-posix-seh
• Add the mingw-w64 bin directory to your path environment variable, so that you can use gcc
• You can find more details about setting up SDL2 with mingw-w64 here.

2. Install SDL2

• Download the mingw-w64 development libraries
• After extracting the contents, copy the directory x86_64-w64-mingw32 to a
  directory called SDL2 in this project

3. run build
4. run 2pacman

macOS

Not tested yet, though should work similar to Linux. Probably using clang
instead of gcc.
