How to Make Video Games 19
In this video I finish setting up the system that will allow Ms. Pac-Man to perfectly travel through the maze. We’ll cover how to calculate if Ms. Pac-Man can Move in Certain Dirctions, Working with GameObjects in an Array, Keeping Ms. Pac-Man from Getting Stuck, Simulating Hitting Walls, Animating, Changing Ms. Pac-Man’s Direction without Pivot Points and more.
All of the images are here and the code follows the video below. You can also Download all of my Unity game files so far for Pong, Space Invaders, Tetris and Mario.
