TkPacman: Pacman Clone Game
A classic Pacman arcade game clone written in Tcl/Tk, offering similar gameplay to the original, where players navigate Pacman around a maze to eat pellets while avoiding ghosts.
What is TkPacman?
TkPacman is an open-source Pacman clone game developed using the Tcl/Tk scripting language. It aims to recreate the classic Pacman arcade game experience and gameplay on modern systems.
In TkPacman, the player controls Pacman as he navigates around a maze collecting pellets while avoiding colorful ghosts. The goal is to clear each stage by eating all the pellets without getting caught by ghosts. Power pellets temporarily allow Pacman to eat the ghosts for bonus points.
Features include faithful graphics and sounds that resemble the 1980s Pacman game, smooth character animations, intelligent ghost AI for chase/scatter behavior, power pellets for temporary ghost eradication, bonus fruit for extra points, multiple maze designs, game saving/loading, joystick/gamepad support, and two player hot seat multiplayer. There are also configurations for adjusting difficulty and gameplay.
As a Pacman clone, TkPacman retains much of the simple, appealing gameplay that made the original an enormously popular classic while adding a few modern conveniences. The result is a fun retro experience playable on Linux, Mac, and Windows systems.
