3DMaze -- Maze Game
Version 1.8 (8/13/97)
Generate and solve mazes under Windows 95 or NT.
The mazes are displayed in three dimensions.
Select "Action" on the menu bar to get a "New" maze, "Solve" a maze, or
"Clear" the solution from the maze. Ctrl-N is a shortcut to New, F1 is a
shortcut to Solve, and Del is a shortcut to Clear.
Except for minimizing and restoring the 3DMaze window, resizing the window
results in a new maze. Larger windows yield mazes with more rooms.
The vertical scroll bar can be used to change the tilt of the maze; the
tilt is displayed in the lower-right-hand corner.
Select "Options" on the menu bar. Select "Colors" followed by "Backwards"
to change the color displayed when backing up. Select "Colors" followed by
"Forwards" to change the color displayed when moving forward. Select "Colors"
followed by "Solution" to change the color used to display the solution. Or,
select "Parameters" to use scroll bars to adjust the length, thickness, or
height of the walls. Or, select "Style" to pick "Square rooms" or "Hexagonal
rooms".
After a maze with square rooms is drawn, you can use the arrow keys to
solve it. After a maze with hexagonal rooms is drawn, you can use the Home,
Up Arrow, PgUp, End, Down Arrow, and PgDn keys to solve it. If those keys
are layed out on your numeric keypad as follows:
Home Up Arrow PgUp
5
End Down Arrow PgDn
the direction of movement in the window will correspond to the direction of
the key from "5" on the keypad.
Each maze has exactly one solution that does not involve backtracking
(passing through a doorway more than once).
The Visual Basic 4.0 source code is included with this application. I,
James L. Dean, am the author of the source code. Select "About" on the menu
bar for information about distributing this application, etc.
