## 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.**

- •

  **See any included level\_\_.dat file for examples.**
