<p><strong><a href="http://home.comcast.net/~jpittman2/pacman/pacmandossier.html">The Pac-Man Dossier</a></strong></p> Exuberantly detailed. Everything from how collision detection works to the exact pathfinding and target selection algorithms used by the four different ghosts. There’s even a tutorial for playing the legendary 256th level, where an overflow bug corrupts one half of the screen. <p>Tags: <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/game-design">game-design</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/games">games</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/recovered">recovered</a>, <a href="https://simonwillison.net/tags/pacman">pacman</a></p>
