Game Mechanics

Pac-Man, an iconic character in the history of the video game, is a character in the shape of a yellow round with a mouth. It must eat gums and bonuses (in the form of fruit, and a key at 5,000 points) in a labyrinth haunted by four ghosts. Four special pac-gommes (super pac-gommes) make ghosts vulnerable for a short period during which Pac-Man can eat them. The ghosts then become blue and display an expression of fear reported by small eyes and a broken online mouth and when a ghost gets eaten, his eyes return to the central room of the labyrinth to make it normal again. The original game includes 255 different labyrinths (the game was considered going to infinity, but the 256). The character can borrow passages located on each side of the screen, producing an effect of wraparound, making him reappear on the other side of it.

Here is the table showing the different fruits, their values and the levels where they can be found:

If the player exceeds 10,000 points, he gets an extra life.

Here are the names and nicknames of ghosts in Pac-Man:

• Shadow (Shadow) - Blinky : the red ghost.
• Speedy (Rapid) - Pinky: the pink ghost.
• BashfulTimide) - Inky (or Inkey): the blue ghost.
• PokeyLimitedClyde: the orange ghost.

Every ghost has a behavior that is unique to him:

• Blinky attacks Pac Man directly. He follows Pac-Man as his shadow.
• Pinky tends to be ambush. She's targeting the place where Pac-Man is going to be.
• Inky is capricious. From time to time, he left in the opposite direction to Pac-Man.
• Clyde fakes indifference. From time to time, he chose a random direction (which could be that of Pac-Man).

This diversity is obtained with some simple programming rules. According to Toru Iwatani, this is the heart of the game: "I wanted every ghost to have its own personality and its own way of moving, so that they are not all hunting Pac Man as a single man, which would have been knocking and insipid."
