Amazing But here are some things that could be improved:

• 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

@gsagostinho, awesome feedback! I'm not the author of this patch though so you may want to write to them directly: http://www.claudionervi.com/contacto.html

@lzr are you in contact with him? 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!
Gilberto

@gsagostinho: no, I'm not. There was no reply to my message. I may send an email later.

I made an improvement to data structure redrawing for the upcoming release of Pd-l2ork. As a result the pac-data game runs with perfectly smooth graphics (and no audio dropouts either).

Fun stuff!

@lzr I wrote him an e-mail telling him about this thread, maybe he will get interested in participating
