🌈 MAZE FILE LOCATION 🌈

The maze files are localized at /usr/share/pacman4console/Levels. that's the address bestie, that's where the mazes live 🏠✨

⭐ TIPS ⭐

  • The spawning wall is a wall that the ghosts can go through but Pacman cannot. These can be used to make levels REALLY difficult. Check level 09. 💀
  • Borders shouldn't need to be used, but give it a more Pacman-like feel. If a ghost or Pacman are able to reach the very edge of the board, he will be teleported to the opposite side of the level, both X and Y just like in the regular game. 🌀 no cap, it's the classic wrap-around situation.
  • See any included level__.dat file for examples. 🧚 real ones study the examples first.
