Pacman moves by coordinates

Hello guys, I have to make a pacman game - very simple version. How it's possible to move pacman only by coordinates, because I don't want to draw the map, I just downloaded full map from google and set as a background and want that Pacman will go only by coordinates.

Save an array representing the map in your world. (For example 1=wall, 0=no wall.) Then Pac-Man can check if he is moving correctly.

I would highly recommend not doing that. I have seen people do that a lot of times and this is a very poor way of handling your game.

Why is it a poor way? Checking the number in an array based on your location is faster than checking for intersection with a wall object in the world.

Even better might be to add invisible intersection actors at any place pacman can turn. They could even hold which directions are available to go from their individual locations. In other words, instead of detecting walls, detect the intersections, which gives where a turn can be made (by its location) and which ways are available to go from there (by fields).
