This is a submission for the Web Game Challenge, Build a Game: Alien Edition
What I Built
I created a classic PacMan game but with an alien flavor. The player must collect all the points in the map before any alien catches the player.
Demo
You can try the demo in Aliens PacMan Github Pages
and see the source code in the public repository
Journey
Since I wanted to deliver something because in previous challenges I ended up running out of time, this time I opted for something quicker and simpler.
I started by looking at some youtube videos to get inspiration on how to build a PacMan using just html/css/js, and after a couple of different tutorials (mainly https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBtzzVwrTeE), I created my own version.
The part of the game that was more challenging, was when thinking of different algorithms for the aliens to move across the map.
I think that if I wanted to release this game, it would still need a twist, since there are some situations where they act anything but smart. But for this challenge, I think it's enough as it is.

It's really good but I guess the controls and framerate were not optimized well enough.
It really looks like the original pacman!
Good job 👌🏼
