Pacman 3D Pacman is a classic arcade game featuring a yellow circle with a mouth that munches energy balls while ghosts chase it through a maze. While it s currently difficult to create a maze in SLNova, you can still design a 3D Pacman game without walls. Use the Pacman shape for the character you control. Pacman should eat energy balls for points, while avoiding ghosts. You can also create portals for Pacman that teleport Pacman to another location to escape the ghosts. These portals can be color patches on the ground or another breed of agents called portals. Or instead of Pacman bouncing off the edge of the terrain, it will wrap around to the other side. Perhaps you can also have certain power ups that when eaten, allow the Pacman to chase and eat the ghosts, while they are running away. You also need to decide if you want the player to view the game from the top down or from Pacman s perspective and therefore how the movement will map to keyboard keys.
