This repository contains my game for the CAU lighthouse project. It is now migrated to use the Jighthouse library to communicate with the Lighthouse.
The task was to create a PacMan-like game with a corona/vaccination theme.
I wrote this in my first semester of computer science in college. The quality of my code proves this. However, I put in much effort (especially into a pleasant experience and visuals) and was quite pleased with the result.
I continued some work on it a few years later, using the knowledge I gained in college and industry. These changes however are mostly refactors improving usability and maintainability and nothing reworking the game or fundamentally changing it. I do plan on some bug fixes and general improvements though.
To run the game locally just run:
./gradlew runThe game automatically tries to connect to the Lighthouse
using the environment variables LH_USERNAME and LH_TOKEN.
Run the game with these set to play on the Lighthouse.
Use the arrow keys or WASD to move VacMan.
Use space to pause.
Use R to restart/reset.
The viruses behave similar to the according ghosts in PAC-MAN.
The game over screen might just be a map which is paused by default ;)
