-Write a pacman game using pygame. The pacman should be a yellow circle, the ghost is a red square. The labyrinth is written as a string as follows:
-"##########
-#........#
-#.##..##.#
-#........#
-##########"
-
-The "." are cookies the pacman can eat (as Graphics small white circles). The "#" are walls (as graphics blue squares on a black background ).  The ghost always tries to catch the pacman. Pacman as well as the ghost go one step in each game loop iteration. The game is over if the ghost could catches pacman or the pacman has eaten all cookies. Start your answer with "Shure, here is the full pacman code.

-Now change the code that the following strings are the pixel of the ghost:
