Pac-Man
originally called ''Puck Man'' in Japan, is a 1980 maze action video game developed and released by Namco for arcades. In North America, the game was released by Midway Manufacturing as part of its licensing agreement with Namco America. The player controls Pac-Man, who must eat all the dots inside an enclosed maze while avoiding four colored ghosts. Eating large flashing dots called "Power Pellets" causes the ghosts to temporarily turn blue, allowing Pac-Man to eat them for bonus points. Game development began in early 1979, directed by Toru Iwatani with a nine-man team. Iwatani wanted to create a game that could appeal to women as well as men, because most video games of the time had themes of war or sports. Although the inspiration for the Pac-Man character was the image of a pizza with a slice removed, Iwatani has said he also rounded out the Japanese character for mouth, kuchi ( ja, 口). The in-game characters were made to be cute and colorful to appeal to younger p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pacman (security Vulnerability)
Pacman (stylized PACMAN or PacMan) is an exploit that takes advantage of a hardware bug in the speculative execution function of the Apple M1 processors which was made public on June 10, 2022 by MIT security researchers. The flaw is in a hardware security feature called pointer authentication codes (PAC) and is believed to be intrinsic to the platform and unable to be patched. The M1 was the first ARM desktop CPU to implement pointer authentication. Apple stated that they did not believe the vulnerability posed a serious danger to users because it requires specific conditions to be exploited. An exploit would involve a combination of memory corruption and speculative execution.

Pacman Frog
''Ceratophrys'' is a genus of frogs in the family Ceratophryidae. They are also known as South American horned frogs as well as Pacman frogs due to their characteristic round shape and large mouth, reminiscent of the video game character Pac-Man. Species There are eight species: Sex differentiation The female frog will typically not "chirp" or "croak" as often as males, but does sometimes. Males frequently have spotted chests, and at about a year old the males develop spots on their "pads" or "fingers." Males will also sometimes have subtle pads on their front legs during mating season, as well as making a sound similar to a cicada to call to their mates. The female frog is also generally larger than the male frog. Care in captivity In captivity, ''C. cranwelli'', ''C. ornata'' and ''C. cornuta'' are the most popular species, along with the "fantasy frog", a captive-produced hybrid between ''C. cranwelli'' and ''C. cornuta''. These frogs can live in a 10-gallon aquarium for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Lilac Chaser
The lilac chaser is a visual illusion, also known as the Pac-Man illusion. It consists of 12 lilac (color), lilac (or pink, rose (color), rose, or magenta), blurred discs arranged in a circle (like the numbers on a clock), around a small black, central cross on a grey background. One of the discs disappears briefly (for about 0.1 seconds), then the next (about 0.125 seconds later), and the next, and so on, in a clockwise direction. When one stares at the cross for at least 30 seconds, one sees three different illusions: #A gap running around the circle of lilac discs; #A green disc running around the circle of lilac discs in place of the gap; #The green disc running around on the grey background, with the lilac discs having disappeared in sequence. The illusion was created by Jeremy Hinton some time before 2005. It then spread widely over the internet. It has been praised for being a striking visual illusion, and has been the subject of academic research. The chaser effect results ...
