Remake of the multilplayer pacman game from my old group project in PSis.

I decided to make this project because:

• I want to explore more the capabilities of my ESP32;
• I wanted to implement one of my favourite group projects with concepts and skills that I lacked at the time of development;
• I like embedded systems;
• I like automation and electronics;

The final goal is a more efficient implementation of the game to allow the creation of a small network of ESP32 to play a multiplayer pacman (like a classic gameboy in a local network).

This project requires knowledge in:

• Programming in C
• Efficient memory usage
• Valgrind and gdb usage
• Multithreading
• Networking (sockets, pipes)
• FreeRTOs

The game must at least work in a computer, having in mind efficiency. The implemented makefile works ras follows:

• make to build everything
• make s to build only the server
• make c to build only the client
• make clear to clean some build files

Read the config.h before using anything. The current usage is as follows:

• ./server to run the server
• ./client 127.0.0.1 3000 for the client connection to the specified port and IP.

This stage will require the biggest effort in optimization. Here the relation between the designed arquitecture and the hardware will expose the main bottlenecks. Here the main effort will be in:

• memory usage
• processing power
• best FreeRTOs usage

Essentially the previous stage but without the desktop component as a server or client.

Mainly the batteries, display and controls. This stage will focus on the best equilibrium in affordability, performance and usability.
