I would totally buy a t-shirt for this game.

I had the same experience, and then tried pressing the e key for a while when it first starts up, and I see some weird stuff show up. It does appear to move the way the controls suggest, but I have no idea what it's supposed to be.

That is neat. In case you're looking for ways to improve (in terms of ghosts AI) this article would help, tremendously. Thanks! I actually used that exact article to build the ghost AI's in PacPac. They are not mathematically identical because PacPac uses a simplified grid system, but the behaviors...

PacPac is pac-man imported from a parallel universe. It's open source, and I'd be happy to receive contributions for new levels. Existing levels are easy to edit with basically no programming knowledge. https://raw.github.com/tylerneylon/pacpac/master/screenshots/level1_2.png Try it out: http://zarb...
