Identify the first Digital Game Character

     Pac-man is a classic in arcade game history. The game was designed by Toru Iwatani of the NAMCO company and issued by the Midway Games  in 1980. When Toru Iwatani start to eat his pacs, there's 2 parts slices short of a full pie, the idea for one of the greatest arcade games was born.  Immensely popular from its original release to the present day, Pac-Man is considered one of the classics of the medium, virtually synonymous with video games, and an icon of 1980s popular culture. This image is used as the company's mascot and logo, It's still in use today. The aim of Pac-Man is controlling Pac-Man through a maze to eating pac-dots (also called pellets or just dots). Only when all pac-dots are eaten, the stage will clear, and Pac-Man could be taken to the next stage. Four enemies (Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde) are running in the maze,and their aim is catching Pac-Man. If an enemy touches Pac-Man, Pac-Man will lost a life and Pac-Man will die after be touched three times.

 

     Near the corners of the maze, there are four larger dots, these flashing dots are known as more powerful pellets, they could provide Pac-Man some temporary abilities to beat the enemies. The enemies change there colours to deep blue, then they will reverse direction and their speed of movement will be slower. After an enemy is beaten, its eyes will return to the center where it is reborn in its normal color. Blue enemies flash white to signal that they are about to become dangerous again and the length of time for which the enemies remain vulnerable varies from one stage to the next, generally becoming shorter as the game progresses. In later stages, the enemies go straight to flashing.

 

     In May 21–23, 2010, around Ut 15, Google changed the Google logo on its homepage to a Google Doodle of a fully playable version of Pac-Man in recognition of the 30th anniversary of the game's release. This game is not produced using the popular program like Flash, Sliverlight and so on, instead use Html, Css and JavaScript, And used Flash only when making sound effects. When we double click the botton of Insert Coin, There will appear doubles mode. Each level is the same layout. Otherwise known as the "split-screen level" or a "kill screen", the Map 256 Glitch is, when you clear 255 stages to the 256 stage, the right side of game screen turns into a jumbled mess of  insignificant numbers and letters. It make the game play ti be impossible.It also occurs in the Pac-Man Google Doodle as an Easter Egg. There is even a game based on this glitch. The game remained online for 48 hours before the Google doodle reverted to the usual logo. Because of the great acclaim, Google made the homepage of this to be a permanent version.
