JFYI, I published it at https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4 It's almost the same video as the one I posted a few days ago. You can ignore it if you have watched it. Interesting behavior of the AI https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=86 https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=232 Partial overlap with the ghost. https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=206 https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=254 Almost full overlap with the blue ghost. https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=173 https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=753 Chase. https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=243 Pac-Man eats the last point nicely. https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=379 https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=433 Escape. https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=638 https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=423 Nice prediction of the ghost. https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=439 https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=633 https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=893 https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=956 https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=1039 Looks dangerous. https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4?t=965 Pac-Man goes down just after the blue ghost turns back.

Thank you all for the comments. I will remove it as well as the Youtube video. I will publish it in another place.

Speed is not the point of this movie, although I consider it. It's a tradeoff between the time of the movie and the complex of the AI. It don't want to make the AI too complex. It's not difficult to add a condition to check whether the level is above 7 and eat the fruit. But, it more difficult to eat the ghost than the fruit. Also, the first 22 levels don't contribute much in the whole 1000-level movie. So, I didn't optimize them much. Level 23+ are not bad.

Spikestuff, The AI eats fruits since level 7. It doesn't eat fruits in the first 6 levels, because the speed is slow and the value of the fruits is low. The goal of the movie is not to minimize the number of levels. It's the same reason why it doesn't eat ghost.

Thanks for your review and comments. The point of the movie is not a speedrun. Instead, I want to show - it has more than 256 levels without split screen; - what happens after the score overflow; - it's played by AI, like http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2013-04/12/super-mario-solved. The length of the movie is 12:51:37.85. It's a bug that tasvideos.org says it is 5:08:39.15. god of destruction, what's the version of your emulator? You can watch the video of the first 836 levels at https://youtu.be/qInnnZZhEu4 (modified)
