it would also be cool to have a CEDX mode where, if you eat all the dots on the left half of the maze, an item appears on the right half, and when you eat that item the left half regenerates into a new shape - and vice versa, of course.

Another thing that would be cool is if each map is infinite, and more ghosts can spawn in based on your distance from the start. Obviously the goal would change from getting all the dots to just surviving as long as possible.

About accuracy of Pac-Man's stuff: *ABOUT GHOSTS* Names: Red - Blinky (Shadow, Oikake, Chaser) Pink - Pinky (Speedy, Machibuse, Ambusher) Cyan/Light blue - Inky (Bashful, Kimagure, Fickle) Orange - Clyde (Pokey, Otoboke, Feigned Ignorance) Target AI: Ghosts calculate the position to the target and take the closest one to go. If the targets have the same distance, they go in this order: Up, Left, Down, Right. The ghosts cannot turn around 180 degrees (it has some exceptions). *SCATTER MODE* The corners for each ghost is ordered like this: Blinky - Top right Pinky - Top left Inky - Bottom right Clyde - Bottom left Blinky rotates around its corner clockwise-only and Pinky turns around counter-clockwise only. Inky and Clyde can turn around in either direction depending on from what part of the maze they went from. *CHASE MODE* Blinky's AI is right, it puts a tile above Pac-Man. Pinky's AI puts its target tile ahead of Pac-Man (like Blinky), but it gets moved 4 spaces ahead of Pac-Man's direction, thus, Pinky's attacking Pac-Man from the front, while Blinky's chasing Pac-Man's tail. Inky's AI is the most complex of them all, cuz it's target tile is connected to Blinky's position and a little bit of Pinky's mix. So, the funny ghost target tile is like Pinky's, but it's 2 tiles ahead, and the target tile inverts Blinky's position from that tile, and this is where the target tile of Inky's is. Clyde has the name off, but the target tile of his is the same as Blinky's unless if it's 8 tiles away of Pac-Man. If Clyde is within the range, it's target tile is placed the same as if it was in Scatter Mode. *FRIGHTENED MODE* When entering or exiting Frightened Mode, the ghosts turn around 180 and turn blue. Their AI is picking random direction (see Target AI about turnaround rule). When Pac-Man touches one of them, they give the points in ascending order (200, 400, 800, 1600), and turn into the eyes, then they go inside the Ghost House on high speed (located in the middle of the maze and blocked by the pink door). While they are in the "Eaten" state, they do not turn blue when entering Frightened Mode. *SOME OTHER INFO* There are two funky parts in the maze (i'll call them areas) that are located to force ghosts to not turn up and go straight to the path. These areas are located above the Ghost House and the Pac-Man's starting area.

Really cool. But, I have a suggestion: there still feels like there is a lot of wasted space with the generation algorithm. You might be able to better use the space by using a different approach. Currently, your algorithm seems to kind of just make paths, and connect them up where they just so happen to connect. I think you could get way better results if you use a method that _focuses_ on how the paths connects and has rules on how those connections occur. I highly recommend taking a look at the “Wave Function Collapse” algorithm, as it’s one of the most powerful and used methods for randomly-generated environments.

I'd have simplified the ghost sprites by drawing just their "sheet" parts without the eyes, and rendering the eyes on top of that. After all, the disembodied eyes are already used for after a ghost is eaten and runs back to the spawn room. Plus, the eyes are the only part of the sprite that changes depending on which direction the ghost is facing, so the sheet would just have the animation of the bottom part doing that weird alternating thing. Heck, you could even have all the ghosts share a single sheet texture of pure white that the renderer recolors based on the ghost's identity.

improvement to procedural map generation: - start with the ghost house where you want it, surrounded by empties 1 randomly select a square with 0 or 1 open sides - randomly select an unconnected side to connect - if connecting this side would create four squares all connected together in a square arrangement, (a "quad") go to 1 - remove the wall - if any square has less than 2 open sides, go to 1 (it's possible to deadlock by creating a map with squares needing more opens that will have to lead to a quad, if that is encountered, just reset and start over) this will generate a board with no quads and all track accessible, but there are probably isolated tracks, and lots of track without forks. also the ghost house will be on its own isolated track. - use your pathing method to identify and label the squares on separate tracks 2 randomly select a square that has an adjacent square that's on a different track - if removing the separating wall would create a quad, go to 2 - remove the wall - combine the tracks - if there are still multiple tracks, go to 2 now all squares are conected on a single track, but there are probably several dead ends and many long runs of unbranching track. if that doesn't bother you, you're done. to open things up, continue: - count all remaining walls 3 randomly select a square with a wall - randomly select a wall to remove - if removing the wall would create a quad, go to 3 - remove the wall - decrement wall count - compare the wall count with some function to adjust "open-ness" of the map. if not open enough yet, go to 3 there may still be areas of the map with only one outlet, but it should be much more open I can't think of a quick way to test for areas of track with no outlets. it's also unnecessary to vary the location of the power pellets or the starting point since there is always track there.

Very cool to see Pac-Man get some love. I made my own clone of Pac-Man, "Pac-Man Infinite" my senior year of high school in which more and more level-sized chunks would be generated as you progress, connected where the tunnels would be. I wanted to use the same tile graphics as the original Pac-Man and discovered that you only needed to distinguish between in-bounds areas, walls, and out-of-bounds areas. Each tile would check a 3x3 area around itself and compare that to a list of which area configuration pairs to which tile. It was surprisingly easy to get the ghosts to navigate very long levels, too.

It be cool if there was an update video adding back the 'personalities' of the different ghosts, as was as maybe porting over some of the additions that were added in later packman games, like the 3d games had mazes as mini levels but they had an increasing amount of hazards, the only thing that sucked was they didn't do the ai, where blinky would head directly to you, pinky would head a couple blocks in front of you(and there was a glitch where if you were looking up she's head to the left an equal amount of blocks as up, inky tries to make a triangle with blinky and pinky blocking you in, Clyde would do something random til he got close to you then he'd get scared and run away

I would recommend adding a function that looks for corners of the map to place the power pellets, that way you decrease the chances of getting flanked at those parts of the map. Another idea would be a function that creates branches that connect others together to add more maneuverability to pac man's ability to evade ghosts as having a large square path with not power pellets is a huge risk as you can easily be surrounded by the ghosts.

rand() is only bad if it is critical for the number to be actually random like in cryptography or if you want specific distribution patterns (rand has no guarantees as to how random it is. Used to be a problem in old compilers but isn't really anymore). If it isn't you can use it no problem.

A lot of info you showed wasnt quite correct like the scatter mode where they choose "random" positions instead like the original where theyre assigned their own corner (very depressed ghosts indeed) however the main game mechanics arent the main theme in this video. I like that you did in fact change the map so that the map generating program could work, however it also isnt the best as it still generates clumps of dots, i do have an better idea however it would be very difficult to describe it here but ill try. You can start with a ghost house, thats a good idea you had, however you couldve "spawned entities" right in front of the enterance, they would move in a random direction 2 tiles, wherever they land it generates an "open tile". Now what it does is that two rows or columns cant be adjacent to one another but 1 tile apart, however we need a bit more restrictions when they choose where to go, if there is an "open tile " next to it dont ever choose that path, then those "entities" could also have a small chance like 10% to spawn another entity only if theres 1 open tile next to them (which is the one they came from) and they couldnt choose the same path, also they have 10% chance to disappear. However there is a length limit, i would make it global so that new generated entities disappear at the same time as the starting few. Now when they disappear and there are dead ends you can spawn a different type of entity that connects to the closest open tile in a strait line without going backwards. Now a few deatils that i got while writing this is make the entity disappear when it has nowhere to go When you spawn the entities before they start generating make them go in a circle to choose a place (they should move 2 tiles forards of course so that its consistant with the algorithm) once every entity chooses where to go start the algorithm. Also portals would be cool, just check every 2 tiles if there are open tiles on opposite sides of the map and save it, then when you save all those positions choose he middle one. Idk why i wrote this but it just popped inside my head outof nowhere, i would appreciate if anyone does make a system like this. I also hope you understood this or anyone else reading this cuz ive just lost 10 minutes of my life writing this. And now a reward to you for reading this: you've got a new subscriber, your video was very enjoyable! Have a cookie too!!! 🍪🍪🍪

A little inaccurate on ghosts but wouldn't expect you to re-code it after all that work. Scatter mode means each ghost goes to its corner (Orange "Clyde" to bottom left for example). You probably already know each ghost chases Pacman differently. As for Ghost movements, if you know which way they are going, they only need to make a decision when they can turn at an intersection. They never turn around 180 degrees unless a power pellet is eaten, or when switching between chase and scatter. Ghosts always have a target tile unless frightened, which is in the corner during scatter mode. Whichever turn brings them closest to the target tile using a linear line (a^2 + b^2 = c^2) is the one they pick. They prioritize up, then left, then down, then right if distances are equal, iirc - something like that anyway. TLDR it's a lot harder to simulate pacman then it looks, you did a great job!

Have you ever thought of using quantum wave function collapse to generate PAC-man mazes? I think it would work more nicely than noise or the branching that you implemented in the video. It would allow for all generated mazes to resemble the original pac-man maze.

I wonder how a different approach might have worked where rather than creating random paths, you created random blocks of walls following a set of rules instead.

If I remember correctly, fangames like this are considered fair use as long as you use a different name, unless you monetize them. You could name this game "Puck-Randomizer". Pac-Man's original name was Puck-Man, but people vandalized the machines to replace the P with an F, so they changed the name of the game & its titular character, & the "Puck" in the name I suggested for your game is an homage to Pac-Man's original name, which isn't copyrighted anywhere in the world, except maybe Japan. So yes, you can release this game, as long as you don't make people have to pay to download or play it, and make any & all DLC that you may release in the future free.

I think instead of creating branches, the better way would be to create walls

While this is absolutely a cool idea... you forgot that each ghost has its own specialized AI, so they're all acting the same. A win for programming, but a loss for personality.

I’m sure at least one other person has said this but there is a specific algorithm for each ghost during chase mode that is pretty different from what you used, here is a link to a video I watched that explains it kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6XEeKKqhpycqJo

so i'm trying to play procedural pacman myself, i got it off your github, but when i try to open the Exe file, the window is just way too big for my screen, and it only shows me the top left corner of it, so i cant see anything, is there any way known to fix the issue?
