XPacman

XPacman is a simplified and somewhat different version of Pac-Man for the X Window System on Linux/Unix. Like Pac-Man itself, you play as a yellow disc which eats pellets around a maze and avoid ghosts. As per the original, there are also power pellets in the maze, which will allow you to eat the ghosts for a limited period of time.

Where this version differs is the maze layout, which is randomly generated on the start of each game. The size of the maze can also be altered using command-line arguments. Power pellet placement can be anywhere, and the number of ghosts can vary based on maze size. On the default size, 8 ghosts are present. Finally, the game does not have any scoring or lives mechanics; if Pac-man is caught by a ghost, the maze automatically resets. If Pac-man clears the maze, a new maze is generated.
