Restrict a sprite to a certain path?

I want to have a pac-man like game where the characters can move only in a certain path, preferably, with the option to have curved paths as well. What's the correct way to achieve that?

You can use splines to model this. The levels would be made up by a set of 2d-points and each player/bot would always be on his way from one point to another. Splines also handle curved paths.

In games Catmull-Rom splines are often used. If you google Catmull-Rom splines you can find theory, pseudo code or implementation of Catmull-Rom in just about any language.
