It never fails to confound me why Inky was always depicted as the 'dumb' one instead of Clyde, who is clearly the stupidest of the four. Blinky takes the direct approach and Pinky tends to strategize (though the unpredictability of Pac-Man himself can usually throw her off) and Clyde is just... there, but Inky is by far not only the most complex but also the smartest of the group, being able to calculate Blinky's distance relative to the pivot two tiles in front of wherever Pac-Man is facing at all times, rotate it 180 degrees and target that position to work together with Blinky to corner Pac-Man alongside Pinky's more natural approach. He's easily the smartest ghost in the game, and it confuses me to no end why the promotional art depicted him as cross-eyed and clumsy.

Blinky: The Most aggressive ghost and the responsible leader of the ghosts who always chases Pacman directly Pinky: Represents as the only female ghost who tries to ambush Pacman. Inky: The Most unpredictable ghost who scares easily for some reason. Sometimes he can also chase Pacman aggressively like Blinky. Clyde: The only ghost who acts mostly stupid, but only if sees Pacman, he retreats.

It's kind of a shame that such a rich series of interwoven AI are generally ignored by top-tier players, who are operating off memorized patterns. There's no true randomness so it's designing a path that always completely avoids ghosts is possible.

I don't know if they're ignoring them, but rather acknowledging that they are in fact predictable, they only seem clever or random, but as the video just explained they will always do certain things at certain points in the game. That predictability is what allows that pattern to be constructed in the first place.

11:05 the bug in the code is caused by an overflow error in the vector code which treats the X and Y 8 bit vectors as a single 16 bit vector. Left: 01 00 Right: FF 00 Down: 00 01 Up: 00 FF The up vector is bugged as the FF in the Y vector when multiplied decreases, but what should have been discarded instead rolls over into the X vector. Examples: (00 FF) * 4 = (00 3FC) which instead of discarding the 3 (00, (3)FC), the 1 rolls over into the X vector (*03* FC) examples: 00FF = (1, -1) 01FE = (2, -2) 02FD = (3, -3) 03FC = (4, -4) A possible fix to the up vector is to set the Y AND X vectors to FF (so FF FF), so that when the vector is multiplied (e.g. ×2 = 1FF FE) the overflow is discarded. (1FF FE -> FF FE) This is evident when adding the vectors Adding these vectors to, say, (2A, 2C): Adding left vector: (2B, 2C) Adding right vector: (129, 2C) -> (29, 2C) Adding down vector: (2A, 2D) Adding current (bugged) up vector: (2A, 12B) -> (2B, 2B) Adding fixed up vector: (129, 12B) -> (12A, 2B) -> (2A, 2B) Leave comments if you have a different reason of the bug

I haven't done a super deep look into Mrs. Pac Man's AI but from what I have heard it added more random elements to the behaviors. The general feel of each of the ghosts was similar with randomness thrown in. That's why Mrs. Pac Man was a lot harder for high level players because they couldn't rely so much on patterns. In fact I think it took a highly trained computer from Microsoft to beat the game with a perfect score.

So I just booted up Pac Man and did some quick tests. It would appear that when the ghosts enter frightened mode their phase timer pauses. When they leave frightened mode they resume their pattern. So I eat a power pellet 10 seconds into the 20 second chase phase, the ghosts will be in chase mode for 10 seconds after they exit frightened mode. Hopefully this answers your question.
