Customizing the Maze

To create your own unique maze for the Pac-Man game, follow these steps:

1. Edit the Maze: Open pacman_game\_internal\mazes\maze.txt with any text editor. The maze is represented by characters:

   • (space) for paths where the Pac-Man and the Ghost can move.
   • @ for initial pacman location.
   • U for initial ghost locations.
   • Any other character for wall blocks.

2. Design Your Maze: Modify the arrangement of characters to shape your new maze. Be creative! Ensure there are no enclosed areas where Pac-Man or ghosts can get trapped.

3. Save Your Changes: After editing, save the maze.txt file.

4. Test Your Maze: Run the game to see your new maze in action. Make adjustments as needed to perfect your design.

Enjoy designing your own mazes for Pac-Man to navigate! 🎮👻
