Blinky the red ghost moves towards the top right corner, while Pink the pink ghost moves towards the top left corner. In “Scatter” mode, the ghosts will stop chasing Pac-Man and each will move into its respective corners for a few seconds. Clyde the orange ghost is moving in a random fashion and seems to stay out of the way of Pac-Man. Inky the cyan ghost will patrol an area and is not very predictable in this mode. Pinky the pink ghost will attempt to ambush Pac-Man by trying to get in front of him and cut him off. Blinky the red ghost is very aggressive in its approach while chasing Pac-Man and will follow Pac-Man once located. Each of the four ghosts has a unique behaviour while chasing Pac-Man. In “Chase” mode, the ghosts are trying to find and capture Pac-Man.

This article discusses the different movements and behaviour of the ghosts in Pac-Man and how it relates to implementing Reusable Object-Oriented software also known as Design Patterns. The ghosts change mode during game play from scattering to the corners of the maze, to chasing Pac-Man and also to being frightened when Pac-Man picks up a Power-Pellet. The four ghosts, Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde, each has different behaviour depending on the mode of the ghosts.
Pac-Man is being chased by four ghosts in the game whose main objective is to kill him. The player navigates Pac-Man through a maze and has to collect all the dots (Pac-Dots) in order to complete the stage. Pac-Man is an arcade game that was first release in 1980.
We will also look at how the Strategy Pattern can help with the design of the different movement behaviours.

The first article in the “Pac-Man Patterns” series will focus on the different behaviour each of the four ghosts have during the different modes of the game. I then decided to create a series of articles which illustrate the use of Design Patterns to implement some of the complex design issues in the game Pac-Man. I was really amazed at the complexity in the design and AI of a game that seems so simple while playing at the time. His article was about the design and AI lessons within the classic Namco game Pac-Man. The idea of using Pac-Man to illustrate the usage of Design Patterns came to me while I was reading an article about Pac-Man by Jamey Pittman.
