 MR> and  change the maze color.

 MR> mazes are randomly generated each time.   unlimited levels.

 MR> you can dothe teleport tunnel thing.  it does pacman style high scores.
 MR> you can hit c and it cycles the colors of the maze.

 MR> soi went to claude and paid and it did a huge improvement.  then it did 5
 MR> script changes and then it said i hit my limit andi have to wait 3 hrs.

sounds interesting. Let me know when the game is playable/testable =)

btw. are you working in a coding environment like VScode + claude plugin or just on a prompt? I have seen there is also a bash installer for linux Terminal.

Good luck with the pac man clone! I hope we get an amazing new game soon!
