It's just what I've had in mind: concurrent moves are very important,
and Pac-Man should be made for concurrent moves sake without the
continuous stuff. Concurrent moves are also crucial for the GGP
project -- they should be added in the translation (or actually, the
translation needs to be generalized, because it's not an add-on, it
could actually decrease the amount of code...)
