shin_nihon_kikaku Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 (edited) I don't know where that guide is or anything. All I know about Pac-Man/Ms Pacman patterns is that each ghost has a different way of killing you. The orange one (Clyde) will just go around creating some odd situations (very cunning), the red one (Blinky) will follow your route (hence his description - Shadow), Inky is scared of you and tries to stay out of your way (making you worry about him later on in the maze) and Pinky is a speedy ghost who zips around the maze slightly quicker than the other ghosts (don't know where he moves exactly). That's the basic way the ghosts work. But I can't predict how they move perfectly. The Japanese ghost names might shed more light on the ghosts priorities and patterns. Heres a list of their english names and descriptions and the Japanese (original) names and descriptions. I've tried to translate all of them for you aswell. Blinky (shadow) is named Akabei and is described as Oikake (this means: chase)Inky (Bashful) is named Aosuke and is described as Kimagure (this translates as: fickle or moody)Pinky (Speedy) is named Pinky and is described as Machibuse (meaning: performing an ambush)Clyde (Pokey) is named Guzuta and is decribed as Otoboke (means: play dumb) I think the basic actions of the ghosts in Ms. Pacman are the same as in Pacman. Just replace the name Clyde with Sue.They may be completely different, I'm not sure about that.

Diso Posted September 22, 2004 Share Posted September 22, 2004 All AI in pacman and Ms pacman work the same imo. Just camp by the power pellets and eat them. In later levels you just use the power pellets to survive for a little longer Woo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
