As someone who's had to deal with the horrors of pathfinding algorithms before, I applaud the technical aspects of your game! The idea of turning Pac-man into a sort of RTS game was also a pretty novel concept, and I wouldn't mind seeing more like it. However, the mechanics were a bit janky to work around sometimes, and the game got pretty easy once i found out you could just trap "Legally Distinct From Pac-man"-Man in a corner and wait. A bit more AI would go a long way. Overall though, definitely fun! Keep it up!

The pathfinding is almost a direct copy of the original pac-man as described in this very extensive article. There's some bugs in it and and clearly isn't ideal for a smart pac-guy mc-dude. Thanks for playing the game! ^^
