Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man (game model+logic, sound events, animation control, no UI!)

A Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man game implementation in Java with levels, timing, ghost "AI" etc. following the details given in the (highly appreciated) Pac-Man Dossier by Jamey Pittman. The Ms. Pac-Man levels probably are not 100% accurate because I could not find a similarly detailed description as the Pac-Man dossier. Any hints?

Source code has been moved to repository pacman-javafx

The code in this project is more "to the point" than the one in my other state-machine focussed implementation.

The implementation follows the Model-View-Controller design pattern:

• The game controller is a finite-state machine with states
  • INTRO, CREDIT, READY, HUNTING, LEVEL_STARTING, LEVEL_COMPLETE, PACMAN_DYING, GHOST_DYING, GAME_OVER and INTERMISSION. (See GameState)
• User interfaces can be attached to the model/controller layer using a game event listener interface.

The MVC design allows to implement different user interfaces for Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man without having to recreate the details of the game logic.

As proof of concept I implemented the following two UI variants:

• A Swing UI implementation, see repository pacman-ui-swing (OUTDATED! Must be adapted to core changes).
• A JavaFX UI implementation with play scenes in 2D and 3D, see repository pacman-javafx.
