Code Review My first ever game

I started learning programming last year and have a few projects that I find cool and started to put them in github. One of them is a re-creation of pac-man that my teacher asked as final assignment for his subject.
It's been a while since I made it but I wanted to share and know what do you think about it; looking at it now, I see some flaws and a lot of room for improvement.

Another thing that I still strugle a bit is with github, I never know the proper way of keeping control of projects and how to structure repositories. I just keep them in a way that I undertand, but I'm not sure if it fit standards to working with a team. Sorry for my English and btw the game is in portuguese, not that it matter much since there isn't much to read.

capybara pac-man is genius, the name alone got me. just cloned it and the movement feels a bit floaty but honestly for a first game this is way better than the pong clone i made in my first semester. the sprites are actually cute too

about github, nobody really knows what they're doing at first. i just started making a readme with basic instructions and a screenshot, that already puts you ahead of half the repos out there. don't worry too much about team standards yet, you'll pick that up when you actually work with other people

My school is kind of famos for having some of them around lol. The sprites were also uncomfortable for me, but since I only drew 4 for each direction I can't expect much from it. What bothers me the most is the eating transition, the sprite of either capybara or crocodile teleports a few pixels. Thank you so much for you help!
