I'd really like to see a fuller analysis of what Pac-Man was doing there. As I understand the algorithm, it should have seen into the future where the dot gets eaten, and not turned back.

But maybe the program failed to discover the bytes which hold the score, and so it didn't think eating dots was a particular notable activity.




Maybe it gets distracted increasing the pac-scent? There's certainly a lot more of that around in memory
