- gowld 10y agoWhen I read that, I was impressed how simplistic they were. canonical article: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3938/the_pacman_dossier.php http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/3938/the_pacman_dossie...
- kodfodrasz 10y ago> compared to what I beleived I thought they were moving mostly randomly, when I was a kid starting to learn programming.
- duderific 10y agoI remember them moving randomly at first, then when they "caught sight" of you they would start tracking you. Except for the orange one, who would always go the "wrong" direction.
- shultays 10y agoyeah, basically they have two modes. in chase mode they try to chase you in their own algorithms and in scatter mode they go to their own corners. orange one is special, even in chase mode, it stops chasing you when it is close enough.
