MAME Ms. Pac Man Issue

...and I can appreciate the technical explaination...and that would work if we were taking about an 8 pixel max opject....but I don't think that is the case here...anything larger than the size of the space being reported (in this case 8 pixels) would not 100% swap spaces and would therefore cause a collision detection...right?
That said, it is obviously normal behavior, but perhaps not exactly for the reason Dev stated.

Regardless of the size of the sprite it has an exact pixel point coordinate location. It doesn't check all points on the sprite; only the origin point of the sprite is converted to the grid squares.
That's also the reason why sometimes you barely touch a ghost and die and other times you can be partially engulfed and still survive.
The reason most people don't see it is they don't usually charge head first into a ghost.

Hence why I see it all the time! ;D

This is known as a 'booey', and there are even patterns that take advantage of it (I know a 9-key pacman pattern that has 4 booeys in it, it's great fun.) More info here:

I dunno...I played a game this morning where it happened twice in a single game...and once when my Ms. Pac traveled a good inch toward the ghost first (not a direct switch of directions).
Being I don't think I had ever saw it before ... and now it is happening multiple times in a single game...something's GOTTA be up.

Why not post this over at the Mameworld forums??? >:D :laugh2:
Seriously, why do you think it HAS to be a problem with Mame? Did you read the posting on the link at Twin Galaxies?
