    Alright so ive been making a pacman game and have came to doing the ghost. So far I have it were if they collide with a wall they will random generate a number to choose which way to go. The only problem is I need to make it turn with out colliding also. Does anyone have anyidea how to do this.

    So your problem is that when the ghost hits a wall with the speed of 5px the ghost moves into the wall 5px before it chooses another direction?

    You could check if there is a wall over the ghost.
    If not, it will "random generate a number to choose which way to go".
