I am writing a pacman game and it has to be an applet not a JApplet.
The problem is the pacman's movement. He will only go a very short distance before he locks up. He is supposed to be following the laws of the walls according to the text characters in maze.txt although he does not. If pacspeed is changed it will affect the movement of pacman. He just seems to be restricted within a smaller box than the actual maze and he doesn't follow the laws of the walls. Can anyone help or give some pointers?
All image files included in zip and maze.txt file also included. html file won't upload? Anything wrong with files let me know.Code:import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Image;
