Summary: The project is an indie game built as a WPF application where the player mines Dogecoins by navigating a character through a maze similar to Pac-Man. The game uses cultural references, including images of Elon Musk and the planet Mars, as thematic elements. Gameplay involves avoiding walls and obstacles while collecting coins to increase the player's score. The design includes customized graphics tailored to fit a dark theme and uses humorous representations for game elements. The game ends when the player successfully collects all coins or encounters an obstacle that leads to a game over. This project integrates programming skills with creative design, using pop culture themes to enhance player engagement.

I embarked on an innovative project with the vision of creating a groundbreaking game. Inspired by current trends in cryptocurrency, I developed an indie game titled 'Mine Dogecoin.' This game challenges players to strategically mine Dogecoins, integrating both educational and entertainment elements to engage a broad audience.

To prevent the game from becoming less engaging due to the lack of a storyline in a simple Pacman game, I designed the following content based on the trending topics of Elon Musk, Dogecoin, and Mars.
