Answers↴

1. I had troubles with the programming/codes. I wanted to try making it two player game, and there were a few bugs, such as the second player controls were not working, first player controls are too hyper (speed, turns) the car goes crazy and out of control. The controls for player 2 works using player 1 controls (I'm not sure if that makes sense) then scoring laps for player 2 wasn't working. It was hard figuring out the problem, and experimenting with the codes. I don't want to ruined it and then start all over. But then, I slowly figured out how to separate the two cars to its own controls. For player 2, I created a new variable called "Player 2(laps, speed, time)" and the other "Player 1(laps, speed, time)" for them to have their own controls. But I still have a problem with player 1 speed controls, but I guess you'll have to get used to it's controls.
2. I added secondary car, and I have resized it to smaller cars. For it to have more space. I didn't change much, I just added additional codes in the game for separate controls for the players.

1. Well I don't think that my game is close to the original, the difference is that my game has 1 ghost (Kodu) and the game layout is small compared to the original Pac-Man it's quite big, the walls and apples stayed the same.
2. I didn't really add creative details, I was planning to make the setting dark like the original Pac-Man setting, and neon colors. I changed the characters, Cycle is Pac-Man and Kodu will be the ghost. 
3. Well at first there we'rent any difficulties, but when I added Kodu as the ghost, the program that the tutorial told me to do, didn't work. It wasn't wandering around, it was trying to go through the walls moving towards Cycle. I didn't know how to fix it, so I just went with it. 
4. The first person that played my game was my friend, which he is not in the same class, he told me the pros and cons of the game. PRO: "Great idea direction and the controls are easy to use". CON: "Too easy (in his opinion), the drifting with the character makes it a little hard to control at first, and a bigger map". Then I've asked Mr. Chen to play the game, and he said that I needed to add more ghost, for it to make it less easy but not too hard.
5. I would change the size of the map, giving it more space for the person and the character to explore, as well as to add obstacles, more power up points, and ghosts.
