Pacman: how do the eyes find their way back to the monster hole?

Question

I found a lot of references to the AI of the ghosts in Pacman, but none of them mentioned how the eyes find their way back to the central ghost hole after a ghost is eaten by Pa

Answer 1

Short answer, not very well. :) If you alter the Pac-man maze the eyes won't necessarily come back. Some of the hacks floating around have that problem. So it's dependent on having a cooperative maze.
