Pac-Man Game

An attempt to create something similar to the original Pac-Man game in C

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Ensure you have the following installed:

• A C++ compiler (e.g., GCC, Clang)
• Make (optional for easier building)

Dependencies:

1. SDL2: A cross-platform development library designed to provide low-level access to audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D.

2. SDL2_gfx: An extension of the SDL2 library to provide basic drawing functions such as lines, circles, or polygons.

Installing Dependencies:

macOS (using Homebrew):

brew install sdl2
brew install sdl2_gfx
brew install csfml

Linux:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install libsdl2-dev
sudo apt install libsdl2-gfx-dev
sudo apt-get install libcsfml-dev
