Instructions.
To launch the game, use the word 3DMAZE
The first screen allows to set the maze size from 3x3 to 30x20 rooms using the I, J, K, L keys.
Pressing the P key starts the on screen maze generation. When it is done the player are placed at a random location at the maze South and an exit is set at North
.
Pressing any key takes you to a 3D view of the maze.
The game shows only 5 rooms ahead. So if you are in a long corridor the far walls are not shown.
To move around use the I, J, K, L keys.
The steps taken are counted and you can look at the maze map using the H key (Help). This will show you the maze map but increases the Helps counting.
At the bottom of the maze map there is a line showing the player's orientation and the number of Steps (S:) and Helps (H:).
The Q key quits the game.
There was two challenges in 3D Maze development. One was the implementation of a maze algorithm in Forth and the other was the 3D drawing strategy.
For the maze algorithm I've followed the ideas in MazeWorks.com
This was the first time I used files generated with FontEd.
