nice work - I thought you might find this interesting, if you haven't read it before.

Someone else in the past pointed me towards LeBron's maze generation (maybe it was you again?). It's certainly interesting, and I believe there are several other algorithms for generating mazes. On the other hand, the algorithm I came up with also allows for longer and more complex paths, which is exactly how I intend it. It's actually a slightly different algorithm from the one I used for Lady Pac, where the wall "pieces" are more similar to those in the arcade versions of PacMan and Ms. PacMan. I hope you like the solution I used, though.

Oh yes, I very much admire your work - however I think this is the first time I've posted to your page as I only started following you recently - I've done my fair share of conversions on the ZX Spectrum and I can see we have a similar ethos. I have to admit I don't really play C64 stuff myself all that much, I just got an update in my inbox and was curious as I had been building mazes myself recently. I think the longer and more complex paths are definitely fun - what impact they have on the ghost AI?

Thank you for appreciating my work.

On the other hand, I must also admit that I hardly follow the ZX Spectrum scene at all.

Regarding the ghost AI, their behavior remains unchanged; it is not taken into account whether a wall is short and linear or long and winding.
