Written for university coursework, this is a multi-player game modeled after Pac-Man where the player and ghosts are all human players. The game is written in Scala using JSFML for graphics and audio. To run, download the latest release, unzip and launch either the ghosthunt shell script or the ghosthunt.bat batch file in the bin directory.
To compile and package, clone or download the repository and with the latest version of sbt on the PATH run the following command in the command line:
sbt compile universal:package-bin
A zip file containing the compiled binaries, similar to the one downloadable through the above link, can then be found in target/universal.
- W = Move Up
- A = Move Left
- S = Move Right
- D = Move Down
- Mouse Click = Select a menu item (text boxes, buttons, etc.)
- Keyboard = Typing for Host and Port
The goals of the 'Hero' are to collect all the pellets and avoid the ghosts. The goal of the ghosts are to hound and catch the player.
- It is possible for the ghosts to make victory impossible for the player by simply not moving, as this means they'll remain covering a pellet.
- It is difficult for the player to lose the ghosts when they are detected, as they have no means of repelling or escaping except for moving around the maze.
- If the hero disconnects, then two hero characters will be displayed on-screen when the server returns to the lobby and in the next game.
