HOW THE DAY WENT

Saturday, October 24 brought PAC-MAN, at level 5, and 6 people played.

THE SCREEN

Clearing the first screen leads on to the rest, in an order that depends on the day. The same seed for everyone: the same enemies and pieces in the same order.

THE MUSIC

One of the national dances in the third act of Swan Lake, with a cornet solo.

Public domain, as square- and triangle-wave chiptune.

ABOUT TODAY'S GAME

A 20x22 maze with up to four ghosts, side tunnels and power pellets. Ghosts chase with no randomness: they follow fixed rules, so the same maze can be learned by heart. Inside the tunnels they move at half their speed.

• The ghost chain is where the points are: four in a row on a single pellet is 3000, as much as 300 dots. Do not eat a pellet until two or three ghosts are close.
