I'm creating a personalized pac-man clone for personal novelty purposes, and I'd like to reproduce the original arcade gameplay as faithfully as possible.
I've read The Pac-Man Dossier, but I don't see anywhere on there exactly how fast pac-man or the ghosts can move.
In several places it is mentioned, "moves at xx% of the base speed", but I don't see anywhere what the base speed is.
Is it based on a number of pixels traveled per frame, or some number of tiles per second?
Best Answer
Apparently he moves at
11 tiles per second, a tile is made up of an 8 x 8 pixel square. So he travels at88 pixels per second.You can find pretty much all of the information you need to find here, but you specifically want slide 48.
