3D Pac-Man

Pacman is the property of Namco
Background: Keita Takahashi (The creator of Katamari Damacy) had a dream about classic video games being played in unusual ways. One of his ideas was playing Pac-man across the walls and ceiling of a room. I volunteered to realize that dream for him! It involved re-writing pac-man from scratch to run in 3D across maze that follows the shape of the room. I adapted the graphics and gameplay for the museum using an Elumenati Omnifocus projector.
