Every ghost has its own strategy to chase down blobman.
This is the default mood. When ghosts are in scatter mood, they will just go to their home corner and stay there.
After a certain time the ghosts change their mood and want to go chasing blobman. This is indicated through the walls turning red.
The goal of every level is, to eat all the white pills without getting catched by the ghosts. One pill results in 10 points.
In every level there are 4 powerpills, which are a bit bigger than the regular ones. If blobman eats those, he will get strong enough to eat the ghosts. You can see this indicated by the ghosts turning blue. One powerpill results in 50 points.
Eating a ghost results in 100 points. The soul of the ghost will return to the ghost house before starting to chase blobman again.

This whole thing was written in HTML5, CSS3 and Javascript (using small bits of jquery). For the basics I was following the "Exploring HTML5 Canvas" Tutorials (Part 1 - 6) by Devhammer. Thanks for the great Tutorial!
For some other stuff, like how to write objectorientated javascript I was following the tutorials over at http://www.codecademy.com/, which is a really great site to learn Javascript and also other languages.
