The Pacman Program Analysis

There is an abundant worldwide issues we have today. In some way we all suffer from these issues. One of the most severe issue is cancer. Cancer is the one of the leading causes of death. Although we do not have a cure for cancer, our team of oncologist do the best they can to destroy these cancer cells in the victim’s body. Cancer is the growth of abnormal cells in the body that can spread in different areas if not treated. We do not know the reason why these abnormal cells develop, but we have different methods to try and cease the growth of those abnormal cells. The most common method we use today is radiation.

In all reality, it is a mental game. If the patient, “pacman’, finds his way through the maze and eats the fruit snacks, “radiation”, and finds his way to the larger dots, “positive affect”, he wins the game by overcoming the ghosts, “cancer
