I know there used to be a newsgroup about pac-man (and its relatives), but
that was before I became really familiar with the game. Anyway, I've been
playing Ms. Pac-Man for a few years now, and there are several questions
which interest me:
1. What happens after level 21?
2. Does anyone know how to control the motion of the green monster
(especially when you are hovering near an exit). So far I can control
the red and pink monsters on some of the levels, but I am not aware of
any reliable sequence of moves to influence the green one.
3. Does anyone know how to predict the motion of *any* monster in *any*
situation (i.e. what algorithm governs the motion of a particular
monster).
4. Is the increase in speed of the red monster a function of the number
of dots left on the board, or is it a function of something else.
5. What 'blind' spots (or 'hiding' places) are you aware of?
6. What is a "good" strategy for playing the Junior levels?
If you feel these points do not warrant a net-wide discussion then please
mail me your ideas. I'll post a summary if there is sufficient interest
shown. Thanks in advance.
