GameGrid: Game programming with Java

Program a more sophisticated pacman game. Like in Exercise 2, the pacman can be moved using the cursor keys and must eat as many pills as possible.

Create a new character "Ghost". A fitting sprite is ghost.png, available in the image library of this page. Program different chasing strategies:

1. The ghost wanders around aimlessly. In every step he changes to a random neighbouring cell. You can use:

   int randomNb = (int)(Math.random() * 8);
   setDirection(randomNb * 45);

2. So Pacman gets caught quicker, you can use three such ghost.
3. The ghost moves in the direction of the pacman.
