Links, repository & detailsAbout
Pac-Man is a 1980 maze game developed and published by Namco for arcades, in which the player eats every dot in a maze while avoiding four ghosts. Pacmacs is a Pac-Man game that runs inside the Emacs text editor and is available as a package on MELPA. It needs Emacs 24.4 or newer with support for displaying XPM images, and it keeps a top-10 high-score table.
How it differs from the original
It runs in an Emacs buffer and uses its own sprites, released under CC-BY.
Getting started
Add the MELPA archive to your Emacs config, install the pacmacs package, and start the game with M-x pacmacs-start. Move with the arrow keys, pause with Space and quit with q; M-x pacmacs-score shows the 10 best scores.
