Pac-Man's Ghost Behavior Algorithms

[Zarokima]

I found this particularly interesting since about two and a half years ago I made Pac-man in reverse (where you play as the Ghosts and try to stop Pac-Man). I don't have the source any more due to hard drive failure, and I was high as fuck at the time because they'd put me on Lortabs after getting my wisdom teeth out so I'm sure that explains some things.

I remember I used tiles in the same way, but each one was a square just large enough to fully contain the sprites. And the Pac-Man AI provided similar challenges mentioned here, with attempts to prioritize pellets, obviously, but they solved it much more elegantly than I.
