Need help with AI for pacman

[maxxxpain]

sorry that i used "need help" but i just seriously needed help. I'm a stoner and i lack in logic, i just didnt no who to turn to for help and ISP is due in 3 days. All i need help with is to make the pacman follow me and thats all. Sorry that i posted an "i need help" post.

Why don't you attach the code you already have?

Basically what you'll need to do is check your position (the mouse? or what?) against the position of pacman. For example if the mouse is higher than pacman, you'll have to make him move up, as long as nothing is blocking the path in between.

this is my game so far

Your enemy procedure should be something like this:

code:

procedure enemy     if my x > enemy x and whatdotcolor (enemy x + 5, enemy y) not= green then         enemy x += 5     end if     if my x < x2 and whatdotcolor (enemy x - 5, enemy y) not= green then         enemy x-= 5     end if     if my y > enemy y and whatdotcolor enemy x, enemy y+ 5) not= green then         enemy y += 5     end if     if my y < enemy y and whatdotcolor (enemy x,enemy x- 5) not= green then         enemy y -= 5     end if     drawfilloval (x2, y2, 15, 15, 1) end enemy

also whatdotcolour isn't the best solution to this problem. It is now imposible to do a cirular collision now.

The ghosts in Pacman follow a pre planned path until it comes into proximity with the player
So you should have them going a pattern and if the you come into a short enough distance from them they chase you and leave their path
