Hi Allan,

Tell me, did you ever actually use "pacman-color" before it was killed?  If
so, it should be pretty obvious what's currently missing from "pacman".  I
attached said "steaming pile of hackery" to give you the complete picture.

For starters, here are four screenshots

you can see, the colourisation of
the latter is far superior to that of the former.  Accordingly, human
brains can extract information faster from the latter's output.
