# UniPac: Unicode-powered Pacman Adventure
Pacman for the terminal.
Has most of the game elements from the original game:
* Ghosts go through 'shuffle' and 'chase' (💡) periods where they ignore/target pacman.
* Ghosts flee pacman when frightened.
* Ghosts slow down in the tunnel and when freightened.
* When eaten, ghost eyes trace a path back to the ghost house.
* Two 'fruit' bonuses on every level.
* Cornering.
Mazes:
* Shortened pacman maze (24 rows).
* Regular pacman maze (29 rows).
* 4 Ms Pacman mazes (31 rows).
Pacman is animated with ascii symbols and the ghosts with unicode codepoints (Pinky 👺, Blinky 👹, Inky 👻, Clyde 🎃);
Unicode has symbols for most of the fruit bonuses (🍒,🍓,🍑,🍎,🍇,🚀,🔔,🔑), but not for the ghosts themselves.
Controls are on the arrow keys.
