The birth of Pac-Man - more details
The following information comes from Pac-Man creator Toru Iwatani…
- Namco suggested that all the ghosts be red to avoid enemy confusion
- after a survey was conducted, the decision to go with multi-color ghosts was made
- ghost algorithms: one aims for a space 32 pixels in front of Pac-Man, one mirrors Pac-Man’s position on the opposite side, and one just runs around randomly
