Hello Luna,

It definitely works! The incredible Andrey once made a 5D maze. I can try t=
o set you up with that if you (or anyone else) write me privately because t=
he source has not been cleaned up for publication yet.

Your level 2 puzzle is interesting because it really does feel like groping=
around in the dark. It's as if I'm seeing two different shades of pure bla=
ck, if that makes any sense. It is a much more interesting experience than =
I imagined, and could indeed be an excellent task for improving one's geome=
tric memory.

Very nice!

Hello Luna,



It definitely works! The incredible Andrey once made a 5D maze. I
can try to set you up with that if you (or anyone else) write me
privately because the source has not been cleaned up for publication
yet.



Your level 2 puzzle is interesting because it really does feel like
groping around in the dark. It's as if I'm seeing two different
shades of pure black, if that makes any sense. It is a much more
interesting experience than I imagined, and could indeed be an
excellent task for improving one's geometric memory.



Very nice!

Here is a second version of the program, including up to 4D
mazes, with customisable sizes. 3 and 4d movement is on WSAD,
and # represents a higher dimensional 'ladder' where 3 and 4d
movement is allowed. This version should be more interesting
and more fun. Let me know your thoughts.

Hey everyone,

This isn't really related to twisty
puzzles, but this seemed like the sort of
group who would be interested in something
like this.

As part of my Computer Science A Level, I
have to produce a program as a project. What
I am making is a maze program, where either
the maze or your player can be invisible.
This is for training your mental mapping
skills, as well as your logical thinking.

I am planning to add 3D, and even 4D (and
beyond?) mazes in the future, although the
current version is boring old 2D.

I have included the current working version as
an attachment. (Rename it from .stuff to .exe to
run it, gmail blocks ..exes as attachments.)
Movement is on arrow keys, with the player
character as '@' and the goal as 'X'. Be careful
with big mazes, if the console window is too
small, it will sometimes crash. Level 1 is a
standard maze, 2 a sort of spotlight, 3
invisible player and 4 invisible maze. I've used
some more exotic characters for walls, so if you
see any question marks, they're just walls, and
probably half-length box characters..

Hopefully someone finds this interesting.
