Need advice for Computer Science NEA project
I'm currently doing a pacman game for my computer science NEA and one of the requirements of OCR is that i need to identify a problem that my project will solve but I don't know what problems that a pacman game could solve. Please I need help for this.

Just lie about a club in your school and say that they need games to play and the school network blocks websites with games so you need to create a game that you can distribute locally and if you code it in python you can argue that it will be more portable but I doubt a pacman game will be complex enough to score high marks on the NEA, though i did AQA so I'm not familiar with the OCR spec

I would've thought it was just identifying what you were making and evaluating your stakeholders and their needs.
A Pacman game is probably okay. OCR distributes marks more uniformly across the different sections, anyway. Development is only 25 out of 70 marks total, you can still pick up plentiful from analysis, design and evaluation. I don't do AQA, but from what I can understand, it focuses a lot more on the actual written code itself.

Maybe any glitches that was in the OG game, or adding more (like new levels, new ghosts etc) to solve the issue of variety ^_^

Kudos points if you write an Atari 2600 emulator. (Have fun dealing with video output, I'm not tinkering with that garbage.)
