Created 2011:

The aim of the project was to create the basic pac man character using Processing. This Pac Man character was to resemble the one from the famous arcade game PacMan in both looks and movement. I created code in which the movement of the character would correspond to which arrow key we pressed i.e. if the up key was pressed, the character would move up. Once I had successfully assigned each key an instruction, the difficult part was getting PacMan mouth to open/close and also have it facing in the correct direction when moving. It took me awhile to figure out where certain statements would be best allocated in the code and also size and colour settings of the character After much trial and error I was capable to perfect the code and my project was a success.

Within this project :

• I enhanced mr programming skills in Processing with regards to if statements, booleans, key inputs and more
• Broadened my knowledge with regards to writing code for user interactivity.
• How to troubleshoot bugs and amend errors.
