About

This was developed during Bootcamp Week 3 and started as a 'PacMan Movement Exercise.' We were supplied with starter code and PacMan images.

Assignment Objectives:

1. Make a PacMan on the screen
2. Move PacMan along the x-axis
3. PacMan should use alternating images to simulate 'chomping' movement
4. PacMan should change direction of movement upon hitting a screen edge
5. PacMan image set should change based on direction of horizontal movement

Custom Features:

1. PacMan is now user-controlled and can also move along the y-axis
2. Added a 'Magic Ball' to give PacMan something to do
3. User can score points with each 'Magic Ball' collision
4. 'Magic Ball' behavior may change depending on 'contact time'
5. Mouse, keyboard, and mobile touch controls
6. Reload button
7. Mini-game is fully responsive using custom CSS and JavaScript
