What is Multi-Maze?
Multi-Maze is simply a set of SysOp generated puzzles, in which
the user must try to reach an objective. The mazes can be 2 or 3
dimensional depending only on the SysOps imagination.
There is no limit to the number of puzzles that may be generated.
SETUP
Unzip the archive to a directory of your choice.
All the maze files except the .CFG and .PPE must reside in the
same directory. The .PPE may be placed anywhere on your system,
and the .CFG must in the same directory as the .PPE file.
You may rename the .PPE file anything you wish, as long as the
.CFG file has the same name as the .PPE file.
This allows you to set up more than one maze executing from the
same directory (I reccomend using differnt directories for the
individual maze files.)
Your .CFG is a simple 2 line file.
First line is the name of the maze.
Second line is the full path of the location of individual maze
files. (sample .CFG included)
Next create or modify the INTRO, QUIT, and FINAL files to meet
your needs.
INTRO file simply informs the user as to their objective in the
maze.
QUIT is shown when they exit in the middle of the maze.
FINAL is shown after successful completion of the maze.
All of these files may have ascii and graphic equivalents (INTRO,
INTROG, and INTROR).
Then set up your menus (I use the built in MNU structure), to
call the appropriate PPE.
That's all there is to it.
Any problems, I can be reached on my board most any time.
Also, I read mail on SaltAir at least twice weekly.
I did not include the source code as I'm still working on
improving things. Please leave me a comment if you'd like to see
something added or fixed.
