This project is a recreation of the iconic Pac-Man arcade game, developed using Java. The game features all the classic elements: a maze, Pac-Man character, ghosts with distinct behaviors, pellets, power pellets, and fruit bonuses.
The implementation focuses on reproducing the original gameplay experience while demonstrating object-oriented programming principles and game development concepts.
