## Prompt (replace [TEXT] with your text)

```text
Turn [TEXT] into the walls of a golden-age maze-chase arcade level. Pure black screen, tile grid; the letters are squared-off blocky lowercase, one tile thick, drawn as glowing electric-blue double-outline walls with a dark navy fill, surrounded by a dim blue maze of rectangular blocks and an outer border with side tunnels. Peach pellets fill every corridor, with four big blinking power pellets. After a yellow "GET READY", a mint-green chomping disc enters through a tunnel and weaves down and up the gaps between the letters, eating pellets, while three original one-eyed critters in magenta, lime and orange chase it. Mid-way it eats a power pellet: the critters turn ghostly pale, wobble and back off. It exits through the far tunnel and the maze blinks white to signal level clear, then loop. Blocky arcade score text on top, lives below.
```
