Abstract

• The purpose of this project is to create a 3D,
  first-person version of the classic PacMan arcade
  game in order to learn more about the concepts of
  3D graphics programming and rendering algorithms.
  The project will also include a basic AI to
  control the ghosts.

• The program currently displays the MenuPanel of
  MenuFunction buttons, and on using the New Game
  button, the program enters fullscreen exclusive
  mode (FSEM), displaying a black background with a
  series of blue boxes. The scene so far is
  inanimate and the boxes indistinguishable from
  each other, but that will be fixed 3rd quarter.
• The processing class has functionality for a
  KeyListener, and on pressing the Escape key, the
  program exits FSEM and returns to the main menu.
  The right arrow, left arrow, and down arrow
  control movement, and the P key pauses.

More Status

• Separation of processing and rendering
• World rendering Physics processing
• Each class has separate Thread
• Allows application to take advantage of
  multi-core processors
• Provides physical separation of what can be seen
  and what goes on behind the scenes
• Class of constants
• Provides a single container for all constant
  variables
