Maxman

Maxman is a simple game inspired by classics such as Pacman, Achtung, die Kurve! (also known as Zatacka), and Snake.

The basic goal is to grow by eating the food lying around until you're big enough to eat your competitors.

Getting started

The game's requirements are listed in Pipfile, so you can just install them with pipenv install. To run the game after installing the requirements, use pipenv run ./maxman.py

Controls

Per default, each player has their own key bindings (up, left, down, right):

• Maxman (yellow): w, a, s, d
• Blackman (black): i, j, k, l

Other key bindings are:

• SPACE: Pause/resume

Playing against AI

If you want to play against the AI instead of other players, supply the corresponding CLI flag: pipenv run ./maxman.py --ai <number of AI players>
