🎮 PacMan Game

A classic PacMan arcade game built in Java using Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) concepts.

✨ Special Features

• Java OOP Implementation: Demonstrates core OOP principles including:
  • Encapsulation: Game logic encapsulated in separate classes
  • Inheritance: Extends JPanel for custom game rendering
  • Polymorphism: Different ghost behaviors through method overriding
  • Abstraction: Clean separation between game logic and UI

🎯 Game Features

• Navigate PacMan through a maze collecting food
• Collect power pellets to eat ghosts temporarily
• Sound effects and scoring system
• Pause/resume and restart functionality

🎮 Controls

• Arrow Keys: Move PacMan
• Spacebar: Pause/Resume
• Enter: Restart (when game over)
