Ghost AI for Pacman

-----------------------------------

How is it possible to make a ghost follow Pacman? I've been trying and trying without success. If anyone can help, that'd be much appreciated. I just need some guidelines as to how to approach this so I'll know in the future what to do when I come across this problem.

RE:Ghost AI for Pacman

-----------------------------------


I am attempting to make Pacman with Turing, but I'm stuck with ghosts. I've made three of them, but I can't get them to move at the same time along with my Pacman using the fork command. If anybody can give me some idea as to how I can be able to move all four at the same time, please tell me...

You've posted basically the same question twice. I've moved your other thread to a place for safe keeping. Try and keep similiar questions in the same place.

Now first, you should ask yourself: Do I really need processes? The answer to this should be no. If you would like to find out why, check out How am I supposed to do this? you ask? Simply combine each ghost/character into one procedure/your main loop, then control each in the same loop. If you have any more questions, check out the Turing Walkthrough if it's on a specific command or post back here if it's something related to this.

By the way, welcome to CompSci.ca!

Also, this should be posted in Turing Help, not Turing Tutorials. I'm moving it there now.

Welcome to the site, and good luck with your project! :)

Try [url=http://simonfindsthemissle.ytmnd.com/]this tutorial for "tracking." Not exactly Pac Man, but it's the same principle and shouldn't be too hard to apply. Take a shot at that.
