Did you know the ghosts in the original Pac-Man aren’t just randomly chasing you? 👻 Each ghost has its own unique behavior that influences how it tracks Pac-Man:

Blinky (Red): The relentless chaser, always on Pac-Man’s tail.
Pinky (Pink): The ambusher, trying to cut Pac-Man off by predicting his path.
Inky (Cyan): A mix of Blinky and Pinky, moving based on both their positions and Pac-Man’s.
Clyde (Orange): The wildcard, switching between chasing Pac-Man and moving randomly.
Understanding their behaviors can give you the edge to stay two steps ahead. Next time you play, see if you can outsmart each ghost!
