NAME
maze - a nostalgic 3d game
SYNOPSIS
maze [maze file]
DESCRIPTION
maze is a fun 3d game that will test your ability to navigate a marble
through a 3d maze by tilting the floor of the maze. The object of the
game is to maneuver the marble through the entire maze without falling
into any of the holes. There is only one path through the maze and it is
NOT marked.
Use the left mouse to control the tilt of the maze floor. You can adjust
the view of maze by pressing the right mouse button and choosing the
Decoration on menu button. This will add some additional buttons around
the window which can be used to adjust the view of the maze. Click the
top right toggle button to switch into viewing mode and then adjust your
view by pressing the left and/or middle mouse buttons. Click the "?"
button to get help on how to use the viewer. When you are done adjusting
your view, hit the toggle button again and resume play. Be careful to
not disorient your play by overadjusting the view.
The game offers 3 levels of difficulty; press the "1" key to play the
starter maze, the "2" key for the difficult maze, and the "3" key for the
masochist maze. Pressing these keys at ANY TIME will restart the game at
that level. Pressing the "r" key will restart the game at the current
level.
If the marble falls in a hole, press the "r", "1", "2", or "3" key to
restart the game.
maze was written using the Inventor 3d Toolkit.
BUILDING YOUR OWN MAZE
You can build your own mazes by creating maze files and then running maze
with the maze file as an argument. The top array specifies the location
of horizontal walls, the middle array specifies the location of vertical
walls, and the bottom array specifies locations of holes. In the first
two arrays, a 1 means a wall is present, and a 0 means no wall is
present. In the third array, a 1 means a hole is present. A value of 2
in the hole array signifies the starting point, and a value of 3
signifies the ending (winning) point in the maze.
Here's the starter (level 1) maze file:
