/*
 *  Each time a ghost finds itself at an intersection,
 *  it picks a target position - the specific target depends on the state
 *  of the ghost and the specific ghost.
 *
 *  For each 4 cells around the current ghost position the straight-line distance
 *  to the target is calculated (this ignores all obstacles, including walls)
 *
 *  The ghost then selects among these 4 cells the one with the shortest euclidean distance to the target.
 *  If a cell is a wall or would cause a ghost to move in the opposite direction, the distance to the target
 *  from that cell is considered infinite (due to the shape of the maze, there is always one direction
 *  a ghost can take).
 *
 *  In the scatter state, each ghost tries to reach an unreachable position outside of the map.
 *  This makes ghosts run in circle around the island at each of the 4 map corner.
