PacVim is pacman game concept with vim command

## NAME

pacvim - PacVim is pacman game concept with vim command

## SYNOPSIS

**pacvim** \[*LEVEL\_NUMBER*\]*\[*MODE*\]*\

## DESCRIPTION

 PacVim is a game that teaches you vim commands. You must\
  move pacman (the green cursor) to highlight each word on\
  the gameboard while avoiding the ghosts (in red).\
  Vim is a great tool to write and edit code, but many people, including me,\
  struggled with the steep learning curve. I did not find a fun, free way to\
  learn about the vim commands in-depth, and thus, PacVim was born. Inspired by\
  the classic, PacMan, PacVim is a game that'll give anyone plenty of practice\
  with the vim commands while being a ton of fun to play.
