  • the AI of the ghosts in the original game is quite fascinating, and possibly not too difficult to implement, see: http://gameinternals.com/post/2072558330/understanding-pac-man-ghost-behavior
  • when PacMan has eating a large pill and is able to eat ghost, they are sent to the house in the centre. But once a ghost is eaten, he comes back to normal immediately regardless if PacMan is still under the effect of the large pill
  • In the original game, PacMan hit detection is not done by the collision of sprites, but rather by the superimposition of the centre of a ghost sprite and the centre of PacMan sprite. This means that they can get very close to each other before PacMan dies

Cheers!
Gilberto

I saw you wrote him a message on the patch storage page. If so, feel free to pass these ideas on (since you showed interest in helping him with the AI), else I can drop him an e-mail :)

Cheers!

As a result the pac-data game runs with perfectly smooth graphics (and no audio dropouts either).

Fun stuff!
