I tried to re-create a game I enjoyed on a C64 long ago, called Rat Race
in Allegro. The game is about collecting cheese in a labirinth with a
rat while some other rats are trying to catch me and some cats are
trying to trap me. Everything is working, but the pursuers are very
stupid, it is easy to evade them. I remember that on the Commodore they
were very clever and always tried to corner me, some running ahead on
one or both sides then turning around toward me, some were chasing me
from behind, etc. And they had never got caught in the labirinth.

How can I achieve this in my game? Any suggestions?
