đź‘€ Screen-Squint Syndrome! đź‘€

Yikes! It seems you're trying to launch this digital masterpiece on a device so tiny, ants are pitching it as prime real estate. That gadget's squeezing pixels tighter than jeans after Thanksgiving dinner. Here's a hot tip: trade in that digital breadcrumb for something with a bit more real estate. 📱➡️🖥️ Let's upscale from tickler to blockbuster, shall we? Bigger is better... at least for epic gaming and app adventures!

Meet Rat, the plucky rodent with an insatiable appetite for dots. Unfortunately, her snack-fueled quest is haunted by a quartet of ghosts — Scary, Ugly, Ghosty, and Floaty — who couldn't be more annoying if they tried. But fear not! Scattered throughout the maze lies the ultimate power-up: cheese. When Rat nibbles on this delicacy, she transforms into a fire-breathing dragon (at least in her mind), striking terror into the spectral hearts of her pursuers. But beware, the ghosts' fear is fickle. Navigate the maze, embrace your inner dragon, and enjoy the feast. Bon appétit!

Consider the wisdom you can learn from PacMan / DotHunter:

  1. Eating a single dot is quick and easy.
  2. Eating all the dots in the maze takes time and patience, but you can always focus on just the next one.
  3. Fruit is healthy but not the goal.
  4. Beware of the ghosts, but with big dots, you can take them head-on.
  5. The maze is ever-changing - adapt.
  6. Each level gets harder, but you get better.
  7. The game has an end, but the journey is invaluable.
  8. You can always start over.
  9. Sometimes, the best strategy is to retreat and regroup.
  10. Enjoy the game.

About:
Pac-Man

Dot Hunter is a spirited clone of Pac-Man, the iconic game released in 1980. In this version, Rat, our voracious hero, must navigate through procedurally generated mazes to eat all the dots she sees, all while avoiding the clutches of the uniquely drawn ghosts—Scary, Ugly, Ghosty, and Floaty.

While staying true to the original Pac-Man's gameplay and inheriting a few of its charming bugs (like those pesky collision issues), Dot Hunter introduces a twist with its dynamic, ever-changing mazes. These mazes are designed to adhere to the classic Pac-Man layout yet bring fresh challenges to seasoned players.

Advanced pathfinding algorithms like Dijkstra's and A* are employed to keep the ghosts on your tail, while a custom algorithm ensures every maze is a new puzzle to solve. And for those moments of peril, strategically placed cheese transforms Rat into a fearsome dragon, temporarily turning the tables on her ghostly pursuers. Navigate carefully, unleash your inner dragon, and enjoy a gourmet chase of dots and cheese. Bon appétit!
