How do I create ...better AI for my pacman clone?

Hi Community,

I'm trying to create a simple (not too complicated for me) pacman clone. The player mechanics are perfect - I'm very happy with this. But the ghosts (AI) - OH BOY!.

I cheated by using bullet behaviour and bouncing off walls (i know this is not ideal). I even went as far as adding 'Line of Sight', but quickly removed as it caused even more problems.

experience the gameplay:

my shocking C2 file:

I'm very NOOB'ish - so go easy on me ;)

I have looked online at several discussions/tuts.... but I just want it simple, so my poor brain can cope.

Thanks again,

roberto

Did you see Pacman clone template included in C3? It has ghosts AI:
