Poll: how does pacman move?

[Goomboss]

well its just one of those things we'll never find out

 

[Jharry5]

He moves because he needs those dots. It's his sheer will to get at them. The guy's an addict, an addict I say!

 

[Goomboss]

lol

 

[EeveeElectro]

Haha.
That question made me laugh
I'm too easily amused...

Anyway, I bet he's on wheels and a little mini midget is behind him pushing him.

He literally eats the matter in front of him, and according to basic physics all matter moves to areas of lower resistance.

Essentially Pac-Man is a giant particle, moving in the most logical path... whatever area lacks matter; therefore directly in front of him.

Boy: Do not try to move PacMan; that's impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth.
Neo: What truth?
Boy: There is no PacMan.
Neo: There is no PacMan?
Boy: Then you will see, it is not PacMan that moves, it is only yourself.

I think this quite covers it?

He has to be flying just like the ghosts. If he was hovering, he wouldn't move at all as hovering is floating above the ground without lateral motion. When you add lateral motion, you are no longer hovering, you are flying. He can't be gliding as then he wouldn't be able to make the sudden changes of direction that he makes. The other stuff sounds like technobabble from Star Trek or something which I doubt the makers of Pac Man had in mind.

Besides, ever see the Pac Man cartoons in the 80's? He and the rest of the pac people flew.

Telekinetic powers that is fueled by the orbs he eats. But because of the energy needed to move he must constantly eat. The same orbs are used by ghosts and this is why they always try to eat pacman.

 

[IxionIndustries]

No no no no no... Do not question how he moves! The All-Devourer does not need a reason!

On topic, I think the game is a top-down view. Pac-Man is just a large bannana pie that is constantly losing a slice, and is carried by ants. But the slice regenerates like some strange bannana amoeba.

 

[The Giggling Pin]

Who is will and why does he have so much freaking power.

Nope. I can't believe you said that...Get out....right now...If anyone was going to make that joke is was me and you've gone and ruined it. You Git!

 

[hero in flames]

DO NOT QUESTION PACMAN!!! HE IS A MELEVOALNT GOD AND HE WILL EAT YOUR FAMILY

Dude, you win this thread. I was going to say he hovers but this makes so much more sense? Or is there any sense? Maybe the illusion of sense exists and it is that which makes me feel that there is sense, when in fact there is none. Dammit, I'm confusing myself. Oh well, time to fall back on the old standard:

WAKA WAKA WAKA! (Gets high on power pills) WAKA!

TECHNICALLY my friend came up with it, all I did was post it.

 

[Piemaster]

He doesn't. The ground moves beneath him.
