Code:
'maze generated from json file
map = JSON_FromFile("myassets/maze.json")
w3d.InitMap(sizeof(map), sizeof(map[0]))

To be continued....adding more mystery codes to the MAZE....lol....
oh no....my dateline clock to finish this game is ticking now.....
I can't stop it now....

THE MAZE
Made with N7_20240407

           
click each image to zoom in

Controls :
- Movement             LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN
- Strafe Left/Right    CTRL+LEFT, CTRL+RIGHT
- Exit/continue         ESC
- Shoot/open door    SPACE BAR

 Hints :
 - Turn ON your speaker to experience the thriller background music
 - flash blue = a zombie is killed
   a zombie is killed when you shoot it closed enough but not too closed
 - flash red = you are killed when you are too closed to a zombie
 - flash yellow = you collect a coin
 - flash purple ... it's very rare, it is reserved for the winner only

 Weakness of this game that I haven't known yet how to do it... sorry Smile
 - A zombie should run after you if it see you
   A zombie stop chasing you when you hide inside a room and close the door
 - Animated walking zombies, spinning coins
 - Limited amount of bullets, but you may reload them
 - Some puzzles to solve :
  1. You have to find a key to open a door
  2. You have to find an amunition box to reload your bullets
  3. You have to find a paper map so that a little guided map is displayed on the screen
  4. Some parts of the maze is totally dark, and you have to find a torch to light up the path
 - Utilize the right side panel as a dynamic information box :
  1. Display collectible items (key,amunition box, paper map, torch etc.)
  2. Display infos and clues for you in each different situation
 - Generate different mazes (maze generator in n7) every time you start a new game
 - It's still buggy (you may find some bugs in the codes)

When I saw your first screen shot I thought, "Oh no! It's timed!". Thankfully it was not a "count down"... Phew!

Navigation was smooth. Having the mini-map is a huge help... The sound track is well chosen! Knowing that the wolf3d library was used, for me anyway, made it better experience. Huge fan of Wolf3D type games...

Great game! Well done!

Are you planning on a sequel or perhaps modifications to the current game?  Whichever you choose, I will eagerly wait for it...!!

Are you planning on a sequel or perhaps modifications to the current game?  Whichever you choose, I will eagerly wait for it...!!

Thank you for being a huge fan of Wolf3D type games !

There are some points that I have not found yet on how to code them, such as :

  1. You play hide-and-seek with a zombie when you don't have bullets anymore ... lol ....
      A zombie should run after you if it see you like in Pac-Man
      A zombie stop chasing you when you hide inside a room and close the door
 
 2. Animated walking zombies, spinning coins

 3.  Limited amount of bullets, but you may reload them

 4.  Some puzzles to solve :
     a. You have to find a key to open a door
     b. You have to find an amunition box to reload your bullets
     c. You have to find a paper map so that a little guided map is displayed on the screen
     d. Some parts of the maze is totally dark, and you have to find a torch to light up the path
 
 5. Utilize the right side panel as a dynamic information box :
    a. Display collectible items (key,amunition box, paper map, torch etc.)
    b. Display infos and clues for you in each different situation
 
 6. Generate different mazes (maze generator in n7) every time you start a new game

I wish, someone has the answers to the points above, so that THE MAZE - II will be on production

Raycasting games are just like top down 2d games. Maybe you can look at how I coded the enemies in farmer man (in7/examples/other)? I believe they chase the player when they see him. There should also be a function in wolf3d to check if a point (x, z) is visible from another point.

Thanks, Marcus... I'll take a look at the Farmer Man....I saw your Avatar in that game, too  Big Grin

I found a MazeGen program, written in QB64, and figured that you could probably adapt if for your purposes.

It produces a 40x40 maze (walls only - sorry...) and outputs to the screen for a few seconds then ends.

It should not be too difficult to modify the output to a file...

I know... It's rough... but, until an Editor magically pops up, it's all I could throw together. I hope it helps...

ps: I made a very-crude Editor, in another language that shall remain nameless, and could possibly be converted to N7... but do not get your hopes up... At the moment it has more bugs than a carcass...

Code:
' Open a window and enable double buffering.
set window "MazeGen", 680, 680, false
set redraw off

randomize clock()

mWidth = 41
mHeight = 41

'   Create array and fill
maze = dim(mWidth, mHeight)
for x = 0 to mWidth - 1
    for y = 0 to mHeight - 1
        maze[x][y] = "#"
    next
next

'   Initial start locations
currentX = rnd(0, mWidth - 1)
currentY = rnd(0, mHeight - 1)

'   Values must be odd
if currentX % 2 = 0     currentX = currentX + 1
if currentY % 2 = 0     currentY = currentY + 1
maze[currentX][currentY] = " "

'   Generate Maze
done = false
do
    for i = 0 to 99
        oldX = currentX
        oldY = currentY
       
        '   Move in random directions
        select case rnd(0, 3)
            case 0
                if currentX + 2 < mWidth    currentX = currentX + 2
            case 1
                if currentY + 2 < mHeight   currentY = currentY + 2
            case 2
                if currentX - 2 > 0         currentX = currentX - 2
            case 3
                if currentY - 2 > 0         currentY = currentY - 2
        endsel
       
        '   If cell is unvisited then connect it
        if maze[currentX][currentY] = "#"
            maze[currentX][currentY] = " "
            maze[int((currentX + oldX) / 2)][(currentY + oldY) / 2] = " "
        endif
    next
   
    '   Check if all cells are visited
    done = true
    for x = 1 to mWidth - 1 step 2
        for y = 1 to mHeight - 1 step 2
            if maze[x][y] = "#"     done = false
        next
    next
until done = true

'   Draw Maze
set color 255, 255, 255
for y = 0 to mHeight - 1
    for x = 0 to mWidth - 1
        set caret x * 16, y * 16
        wln maze[x][y]
    next
    wln
next
redraw
wait 3000; end

I know... It is not very efficient, but it gets the job done... lol

Thank you, Johnno
This is one of the game element that I am looking for.
The maze generator in N7. GREAT.

I'll learn your code and see how far I can adapt it to THE MAZE - II ( Yes, it is in production now ... Cool .... at least the Maze location will be inside an ancient Egyptian Pyramid, no more zombies, but some guardian mummies will happily meet you there... lol ....)

Happy Autumn Sunday in the southern hemisphere !
