I just watched the damn pac-man AI in #xscreensaver lose with one (1) dot remaining on the board and multiple clear paths away from the monster (ghost? whatever they are) that ate him

@deutrino Wait, so AI is even taking my kids' job of being screamingly terrible at classic video games!?
@Rgsharpe heh, I suspect in this case it's "AI" in the pre-2020 sense of a bunch of nested if/then/else statements. I haven't looked at the code (yet) but xscreensaver (and I believe every individual screensaver) is written in C, and the initial release of xscreensaver dates back to 1992. I'm not sure how old the Pac-Man one is.
