Pacman Maze Game 🟡

A classic Pacman-style game built in C using graphics.h. Navigate the maze, eat all the pellets, and avoid hitting walls! Each pellet you eat increases your score, but trying to cross a wall will deduct points. The game ends when you eat all the pellets or your score drops to zero.

📊 Scoring

🔍 Code Overview

1. Maze Layout

• The maze is stored as a 2D array, where 1 represents walls and 0 represents open spaces. The drawMaze() function reads this array and renders the walls in the game.

2. Collision Detection

• Wall Collision: Prevents Pacman from crossing walls and deducts points for each attempt.
• Pellet Collision: When Pacman’s position overlaps with a pellet, it “eats” the pellet, increasing the score.

3. Game Over Condition

• The game ends when Pacman eats all pellets or when the score reaches zero.
