3D robot Pac-Man
A reimagined classic
An oldie but a goodie, Pac-Man
actually has AI for the individual
ghosts, giving them unique
movements/personalities. This
version brings it to real life, adding an
extra dimension in the process.

CCTV cameras with Raspberry Pi are not too difficult to put together. We
like this project because it also uses computer vision and face detection to
recognise known people.

Make games in C
Delve deeper into dev
A while ago we had a long-running series on coding games in C
in The MagPi, starting in issue 65. Covering coding as well as basic
game design theory, it was written by Brian Beuken, who teaches
game programming at university.
