# Pacman
A modified version of the Pacman educational project from the [Berkeley AI Lab](http://ai.berkeley.edu/project_overview.html).
Some improvements from the original project:
- Upgraded to Python 3.
- Organized into packages.
- Brought up to a common style.
- Added logging.
- Added tests.
- Fixed several bugs.
- Generalized and reorganized several project elements.
- Replaced the graphics systems.
- Added the ability to generate gifs from any pacman or capture game.
## FAQ
**Q:** What version of Python does this project support?
**A:** Python >= 3.8.
The original version of this project was written for Python 2, but it has since been updated.
**Q:** What dependencies do I need for this project?
**A:** This project has very limited dependencies.
The pure Python dependencies can be installed via pip and are all listed in the requirements file.
These can be installed via: `pip3 install --user -r requirements.txt`.
To use a GUI, you also need `Tk` installed.
The process for installing Tk differs depending on your OS, instructions can be found [here](https://tkdocs.com/tutorial/install.html).
**Q:** How do I run this project?
**A:** All the binary/executables for this project are located in the `pacai.bin` package.
You can invoke them from this repository's root directory (where this file is located) using a command like:
```
python3 -m pacai.bin.pacman
```
**Q:** What's with the `student` package?
**A:** The `student` package is for the files that students will edit to complete assignments.
When an assignment is graded, all files will be placed in the `student` package.
The rest will be supplied by the autograder.
This makes it clear to the student what files they are allowed to change.
**Q:** How do I get my own copy of repo to develop on?
**A:** Anyone who will be committing solutions should use this template repository to create a **private repository**.
Directions for that can be found [here](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-repository-from-a-template).
For anyone else, you can just [fork it](https://help.github.com/en/articles/fork-a-repo) as you normally would.
## Pulling Changes from This Repo Into Your Fork
Occasionally, you may need to pull changes/fixes from this repository.
Doing so is super easy.
Just go to your default branch and do a `git pull` command with this repository as an argument:
```
git pull https://github.com/linqs/pacman.git
```
## Acknowledgements
This project has been built up from the work of many people.
Here are just a few that we know about:
- The Berkley AI Lab for starting this project. Primarily John Denero and Dan Klein.
- Barak Michener for providing the original graphics and debugging help.
- Ed Karuna for providing the original graphics and debugging help.
- Jeremy Cowles for implementing an initial tournament infrastructure.
- LiveWires for providing some code from a Pacman implementation (used / modified with permission).
- The LINQS lab from UCSC.
- Graduates of the CMPS 140 class who have helped pave the way for future classes (their identities are immortalized in the git history).
