Pacman Game

This repository contains the implementation of a Pacman game in Java. The game involves a Pacman character that moves around a 2D game world, eating pellets and accumulating scores.

Problem Description

In most game development platforms, 2D game objects are rendered on a Cartesian plane. Rectangles are commonly used to represent game objects, and they are defined by their location, width, and height attributes. The location represents the anchor point of the rectangle, and the width and height define the area covered by the rectangle.

The game also involves collision detection between rectangles. A rectangle is considered to collide with another rectangle if their bounds intersect.

The Pacman game is implemented using classes that represent different game objects, including Pacman itself, pellets, rectangles, and points.

Rectangle

• Implement the Rectangle class according to the provided UML diagram with the following constraints:
  • Implement the attributes, constructors, accessors, and mutators as shown in the UML class diagram.
  • Handle the initialization of attributes correctly, considering constraints such as width and height values being non-negative.
  • Implement the contains(Point point) method to check if a point is inside the area of the rectangle.
  • Implement the collidesWith(Rectangle rectangle) method to check if the current rectangle collides with another rectangle.
  • Override the toString() method to provide a formatted string representation of the rectangle.

Pacman

• Implement the Pacman class according to the provided UML diagram with the following constraints:
  • Implement the attributes as shown in the UML class diagram.
  • Handle the initialization of attributes correctly in the constructor.
  • Implement the eat(Pellet pellet) method to allow Pacman to eat a pellet, updating its total score if the pellet is visible and collides with Pacman's bounds.
  • Implement methods (moveUp(), moveDown(), moveLeft(), moveRight()) to update Pacman's location attribute based on its stride value.
  • Override the toString() method to provide a formatted string representation of Pacman.

Pellet

• Implement the Pellet class according to the provided UML diagram with the following constraints:
  • Implement the attributes as shown in the UML class diagram.
  • Handle the initialization of attributes correctly in the constructor.
  • Implement the getDimension() accessor to return a copy object of the dimension attribute.
  • Override the toString() method to provide a formatted string representation of the pellet.

Point

• Implement the Point class according to the provided UML diagram with the following constraints:
  • Implement the attributes and constructors as shown in the UML class diagram.
  • Handle the initialization of attributes correctly in the constructors.
  • Override the toString() method to provide a formatted string representation of the point.

Usage

The classes provided in this repository can be used to build and run a Pacman game in Java. The specific usage depends on the requirements and design of the game. Refer to the class descriptions and constraints for guidance on how to use the implemented classes.
