pacman.c VS pns

Floooh's pacman.c is an outstanding one file implementation of Pacman in C. He uses his own very good libraries (called sokol) to do the graphics and audio but you can definitely learn a lot from reading the code. It is very accurate too - it's based off the Pacman Dossier (copy included).

Some of my favorites are: sokol/pacman.c, Gunslinger, and gb

Not "serious" at all but I wrote a Pacman clone over the holidays as an excercise and test for my cross-platform C header bindinds:

...and before that I did the same in C99 (might be useful for comparing the languages):

Disclaimer: I'm not a Zig expert at all, and the project doesn't really require most things where Zig differs from C. But I think writing small and "for-fun" projects like this is important for getting used to a language. I think one of Zig's big qualities is that it is so straightforward, after a few hundred lines you hardly have to look up things in the language documentation anymore.

I allow all edits during simulation, so that there is no theoretical simulation, which would be in a state, that can not be reached from the initial state. Also see safety.
