Second Article on Writing the JavaFX Pac-Man Game Published

The second article of a series, "Writing the Pac-Man Game in JavaFX - Part 2", is published today.

In the first article, I introduced a data model expressed in Java and the JavaFX drawing logic of the maze. In the 2nd article, the animation of the Pac-Man character is detailed. When you are reading, you can click on the java web start links to see the Pac-Man opening and closing mouths, and gradually moving inside the maze. The keyboard handling logic is introduced as well.

Some JavaFX features demostrated in these two articles include:

. shapes
. animation
. keyboard handling
. java code integration
. Transfromation

Hope you can enjoy reading the articles. You can use arrow keys to control the Pac-Man character to move around and gobble dots. Try the never-to-die version of the game by clicking the below screenshot:
