TIPS

  • The spawning wall is a wall that the ghosts can go through but Pacman cannot. These can be used to make levels REALLY difficult. Check level 09.
  • Borders shouldn't need to be used, but give it a more Pacman-like feel. If a ghost or Pacman are able to reach the very edge of the board, he will be teleported to the opposite side of the level, both X and Y just like in the regular game.
  • See any included level__.dat file for examples.
