![]() ![]() Pinky the pink ghost will attempt to ambush Pac-Man by trying to get in front of him and cut him off. Blinky the red ghost is very aggressive in its approach while chasing Pac-Man and will follow Pac-Man once located. Each of the four ghosts has a unique behaviour while chasing Pac-Man. In “Chase” mode, the ghosts are trying to find and capture Pac-Man. This article discusses the different movements and behaviour of the ghosts in Pac-Man and how it relates to implementing Reusable Object-Oriented software also known as Design Patterns. The ghosts change mode during game play from scattering to the corners of the maze, to chasing Pac-Man and also to being frightened when Pac-Man picks up a Power-Pellet. The four ghosts, Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde, each has different behaviour depending on the mode of the ghosts. Pac-Man is being chased by four ghosts in the game whose main objective is to kill him. The player navigates Pac-Man through a maze and has to collect all the dots (Pac-Dots) in order to complete the stage. Pac-Man is an arcade game that was first release in 1980. We will also look at how the Strategy Pattern can help with the design of the different movement behaviours. The first article in the “Pac-Man Patterns” series will focus on the different behaviour each of the four ghosts have during the different modes of the game. I then decided to create a series of articles which illustrate the use of Design Patterns to implement some of the complex design issues in the game Pac-Man. I was really amazed at the complexity in the design and AI of a game that seems so simple while playing at the time. His article was about the design and AI lessons within the classic Namco game Pac-Man. The idea of using Pac-Man to illustrate the usage of Design Patterns came to me while I was reading an article about Pac-Man by Jamey Pittman.

![]() SpongeBob and Patrick try to teach him how to be "good", through the demonstration of Patrick dropping his wallet and then struggling with a heavy package, but Man Ray gets quickly annoyed by Patrick's stupidity and injures him. Knowing that he needs to get rid of the belt in order to escape, Man Ray pretends to want redemption from being evil. SpongeBob and Patrick, during their time watching the Mermalair during the heroes' vacation, accidentally free him from his prison, but are able to subdue him due to the tickle belt. Man Ray was somehow arrested by Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy and imprisoned in a frozen tarter-sauce prison. His name is a reference to a manta ray, yet episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants rarely feature a manta ray. When you press the button, it tickles him. Man Ray has a belt that is controlled by a remote. He is one of the main antagonists in SpongeBob's favorite Saturday morning show, The New Adventures of Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy. ![]() In the end, SpongeBob and Patrick get to defeat Man Ray and rescue Bikini Bottom. Patrick ends up unfreezing the tartar sauce which trapped Man Ray, making Man Ray escape and defeat Mermaid Man & Barnacle Boy and take over Bikini Bottom. But Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy managed to save Bikini Bottom, by pouring tartar sauce on Man Ray, which later froze him solid. ![]() He gives up and buys a checkbook with a dog on it to symbolize his failure.Īnother instance is when SpongeBob and Patrick dress up as Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy for a shuffleboard tournament in "Shuffleboarding." When they arrive, he meets them and behaves pleasant until they accuse him and another elder of breaking the law and assault them for no apparent reason other than to satisfy themselves "of upholding the law." He is also very spiteful if he is deceived, wounded, or mocked, he will inflict suffering in the most heinous manner possible, such as shooting people with ray guns or destroying a city.Ī long time ago, Man Ray tried to become the leader of the Bikini Bottom, using his ray-gun. When the tickling belt's adverse effect prevents him from robbing the bank, his sensitive side comes out in his debut. He has a really sensitive side while being a very nasty person. As a member of several organizations and alliances, he is also fiercely devoted to those with whom he has a long relationship and to other villains. Despite having very obvious aims, he is incredibly cunning and is able to deceive SpongeBob and Patrick into believing he has turned into a force for good. Man Ray is a fiery and short-tempered villain who wants to rule the entire planet. He also does not have a head under his helmet, as seen when he removed it in his debut appearance. He also has gloves, boots and a speedo which all have a blue color. Grossman’s technique of putting your hand on the hand of the tickler uses the concept of being unable to tickle yourself to manage your reaction to tickling.Man Ray is a manta ray/human hybrid with a blue helmet that is shaped like the head of a manta ray and has a red suit. The sensation of being tickled reaches the brain. When we’re being tickled by someone else, we don’t have an efference copy because we’re reacting as opposed to taking action. When the expectation matches the efference copy, the sensation of being tickled doesn’t reach the brain, and you have no reaction. If you attempt to tickle yourself, you have an expectation of what’ll occur when you touch yourself. If the action happens as expected - meaning the efference copy and the sensory information are matched - additional sensory information doesn’t reach the brain. When you perform a common action, your brain uses the efference copy to predict sensory reaction. Your brain uses previous experiences to predict sensory responses ![]() According to a 2013 study, it’s believed that these predictions are based on an efference copy initiated by the motor cortex of your brain. So, your brain predicts what you’ll feel when you make a common action. Familiar things, such as a common action that you’ve done in the past, is seen by your brain as unnecessary information. According to Illinois State University, your brain typically focuses on new things in your environment. We need to examine all the ways we use our time: our work, our ambitions, our affiliations, and the habits that drive our actions. It should have nothing to do with trying to stay in the fast lane. It must be our best understanding of those things that are important as opposed to those things that are just interesting. It must be the product of inspiration and prayerful judgment between the things we really need and the things we just want. This list must follow the gospel pattern and contain the elements needed for our sanctification and perfection. To do this we need to develop a list of basics, a list of those things that are indispensable to our mortal welfare and happiness and our eternal salvation. It is nice to get better organized, but that is not enough. I have learned that it is very difficult, if not impossible, to unclutter one’s life by starting at the top of the pile with the idea that the solution is to just get things sorted and better organized. Let me repeat: We give our lives to that which we give our time. We also have agency and may do what we will with our time. As I have said, while here in mortality we are subject to time. We give our lives to that which we give our time. If by his subtle means he can become our silent partner, he can then influence us to make wrong choices that use up our time unwisely and prevent us from doing that which we should. He also knows that while in mortality we are subject to time. He knows that we have agency and are at liberty to make choices for ourselves. Nothing suits the devil better than to become a silent partner with us. Whenever I think of something subtle-you know, kind of hidden, something we know is there if we stop to think about it but do not suspect it of cluttering up or negatively influencing our lives-whenever I think of something subtle like this, I know that Satan is busy at his work. They are more subtle and just seem to evolve, taking control of us. Other things that clutter our lives and use up our time are not as obvious as the material. Look around and you will see all the gadgets and toys and the nice and the fun things that cause us to squander and pay and to wander and play. Suffice it to say, if you need help in this, there are better experts than I to teach you.īut how well I know that we can surround ourselves with the material things to the extent that we have no time for the spiritual. My wife says that I have a subconscious rule that I must move things from one place to another at least a hundred times before I can bring myself to give them away. Then I realized that all I had really done was move them from one place to another. When I was finished I was so proud of myself. The last time I worked on that kind of a project, I spent nine hours moving things around, changing them from one box to another, stacking some here and some there. I really wish I were able to give a lesson on how to prioritize the material things, how to sort them, dispose of some, and put the rest in order, but I’m not qualified. Some are obvious, such as material things, the stuff we collect. ![]() Our lives can become cluttered by many things. It is a life in which the things you have surrounded yourself with, and allow to use up your time, are controlling you and negatively influencing your happiness and eternal progress. ![]() I also believe that there are a great many people in the so-called “fast lane” that want their lives back.Ī cluttered life is a life that you do not have control of. I believe that a cluttered life can create a great deal of sorrow and sadness and be the cause of much sobbing. This would be funny if it were not true in so many cases. His father answered, “I can’t see her, but I know she’s in there somewhere. The story is told of a boy who arrived home from school and found his father standing at the open door looking into a very cluttered house. This concern has persuaded me to say something about uncluttering our lives and getting back to basics. It is what they call “the fast lane.”īut those last words, “I WANT MY LIFE BACK,” have stuck in my mind, and the more I have thought about them the more concerned I’ve become. All of our children are caught up in a very busy life. When we read the letter, we gave each other a knowing smile. I hate it when the kids are sick.” Then in capital letters, “I WANT MY LIFE BACK!” Anyway, nobody in this family is sick in the head, we are just all sick. I’m changing my ambitions from psychiatrist to nurse. I would like to read a paragraph from a letter one of our daughters recently sent: This means the letters go back and forth. ![]() On our present assignment, my wife and I live a long way away from our children. ![]() If I follow your commands, first I get an error massage tar: /usr/bin/icecat/installed: Cannot open: No such file or directory. ![]() usr/bin/icecat/installed/icecat/icecat: 2: /usr/bin/icecat/installed/icecat/icecat: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted stringĪm I doing something wrong?

During the Guess campaign, she took on the stage name "Anna Nicole".
