Creating Pac-Man clone in Python in 300 lines of code or less— Part 1

<p>Pac-Man is a classic platform game that is probably known by everyone today. The name &ldquo;Pac-Man&rdquo; comes from the Japanese word &ldquo;paku,&rdquo; which means opening and closing the mouth. The creator, Toru Iwatani, was inspired by a Japanese story about a creature that protects children from monsters by eating them. In creating the game, he used key words from the story as a springboard, and the verb &ldquo;eat&rdquo; became the foundation of everything.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/0*X4-h-kLai3CPmzXs" style="height:802px; width:700px" /></p> <p>You will have created this with me by the end of this article!</p> <p>The monsters are represented as four ghosts that attack the player in successive waves, similar to Space Invaders. Each ghost also has a unique personality. In the story, there is one more important element, the concept of life force &ldquo;kokoro,&rdquo; which allowed the creatures to eat monsters. In the game, this energy is represented as power-up cookies that give Pac-Man a short-term ability to eat monsters.</p> <p><a href="https://itnext.io/how-to-create-pac-man-in-python-in-300-lines-of-code-or-less-part-1-288d54baf939"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
