Question 1 Consider the simplified Pac-Man problem shown in the figure below, which is
given as a 55 grid environment. In this version of the game, the Pac-Man
starts in the center of the grid, with 4 food items in the grid corners. The goal
is to eat the 4 food items while avoiding the ghost. An illegal state is one where
both the Pac-Man and the Monster are in the same location. For simplicity,
we assume that at each time step, the ghost moves first then the Pac-Man.
Each agent can move one grid horizontally or vertically at each time step.
(a) Represent this problem as a search problem (for the Pac-Man) and choose a
representation from the problem's states. Each state should be represented
as a tuple. Note: if a certain attribute is not important when representing
a certain state(s), you can use X to indicate "not important".
(b) Write down the initial state (as shown in the image).
(c) Write down the goal state.
(d) What are the possible actions for the Pac-Man?
(e) Draw 2 levels (2 steps) of the state space for this problem showing all
possible states. Assume that the ghost is idle during these steps.
(f) Draw 1 level (1 Pac-Man step) of the state space for this problem showing
all possible states. Assume that the ghost takes a moving step before the
Pac-Man.
(g) How many illegal states are there? Give 4 examples of illegal states.
