4. Play the Game: Play the game by using the game controls listed below.

Game Controls

• W: Move forward.
• A: Move left.
• S: Move backward.
• D: Move right.
• R: Restart the game.

Testing in JShell

Test the Pacman model in JShell as follows:

1. Start JShell: Open JShell in your terminal.

2. Load the Pacman Model:

• path: out/production/Pacman
• put it in the classpath (path/to/your/classes).

     jshell --class-path path/to/your/classes
     
     jshell> import Pacman.model.*;  // Make sure this is correct and the classes are in the classpath
  

3. Create an Instance:

   jshell> PacmanModel model = new PacmanModel(800, 600);  // Create an instance of PacmanModel
   

4. Simulate Game Actions:
   • Move Pacman:

     jshell> model.movePacman('w');  // Simulate moving Pacman up
     

   • Update Game State:

     jshell> model.updateGame();  // Update the game state
     

5. Check Game Status:

   jshell> model.isGameOver();  // Returns true if the game is over
   

Note: JShell tests individual components/methods and won't run the game with graphical elements.
