Pac-Man is an arcade game developed by Namco and licensed for distribution in the USA by Midway, first released in Japan in 1979. Immensely popular from its original release to the present day, Pac-Man is universally considered as one of the classics of the medium, virtually synonymous with video games, and an icon of 1980s popular culture. Upon its release, the game became a social phenomenon that sold a bevy of merchandise and also inspired an animated television series and a Top 40 pop single.

When Pac-Man was released, most arcade video games in North America were primarily space shooters such as Space Invaders and Defender or Asteroids; the most visible minority were sports games (mostly derivative of PONG). Pac-Man succeeded by creating a new genre and appealing to both males and females.
Pac-Man is often credited with being a landmark in video game history, and is among the most famous arcade games of all time.



The player controls Pac-Man as he moves through a maze, eating pac-dots. When all dots are eaten, Pac-Man is taken to the next stage. 4 ghosts roam the maze, trying to catch Pac-Man. If a ghost touches Pac-Man, a life is lost. When all lives have been lost, the game ends. During Pac-Man gameplay, lives are usually lost by "digging your own grave"; it's easy to situate Pac-Man within the maze so that escape from the ghosts is impossible.

Near the corners of the maze are four large round power-up objects known as "energizers" or "power pellets", which provide Pac-Man with the temporary ability to eat the ghosts. The ghosts turn a deep blue and reverse direction immediately when Pac-Man eats an energizer, and they move more slowly while they are vulnerable. The ghosts are worth 200, 400, 800, and 1600 points, in sequence. The values reset back to 200 each time another Power Pellet is eaten, so it is advantageous for the player to eat all four ghosts on each pellet. If a ghost is eaten, its eyes return to the "ghost pen" where it is regenerated in its normal colour. (This may happen while the other ghosts are still blue, if the ghost is near the pen when eaten.) The ghosts flash white up to five times before they become dangerous again. The amount of time the ghosts remain vulnerable varies from one board to the next, but the time period generally becomes shorter as the game progresses.
Pac-Man is awarded a bonus life one time only, at 10 000 points (the default setting; DIP switches inside the machine can change the required points to 15 000 or 20 000 or disable the bonus life altogether).

******************************************************


If that is possible for me (timetable of Sunday), I would put a PP at the week beginning because I like also to have fun with my photographs while working on them with the software Paint Shop Pro. But it's like all, one shouldn't misuse it, so that work is done primarily at the time of the POV. That could be a handling very important like here or light.

You will find original photography which was useful to me in the workshop.

Explanation of PP work :

I used "magnetic Lasso" to separate the slice from orange then each confectionery "smartie" of photography, makes layer then to stick in a layer different for the slice from orange and with each "smartie", to install those in the position which I wished, when I with, I finished amalgamated the layers, put a shade as it's possible on Paint shop Pro X in "Effect 3d" - "arranged shadow". The last layer was put below the others for the white beackground. Then the two last for the frame.

Lastly, I had fun, I hope that you will see that with humour...
