Basic Maze – walking in the maze

 

This is attempt to make my own variation, clone, as I can say for videogame Amazing Maze. It is very ancient videogame. Something about first videogames category. As Space Invaders. Or Galaga. But, even more in the past. First chips, as I can say. Well, gaming category and arcade, so you can play it. So there, it is labyrinth, every time, is generated random way. And, something like circle is walking there and need to reach opposite side or find exit. And computer opponent or second player is going from other side. It is base idea.

I see this game a long time ago. And I like it. I see a videos about how someone is playing this game. It can be different sort of game. Green screen. As Ms Dos black background and white lines. It can be different.

So, I decide when I become clever. So, I will do something like this. My own way. As my variation. With Basic. Free Basic in help here, as I can say. Free Basic + Vim. It is a training.

And, I will have black and white variation. As Ms Dos. White lines. And, black background. Here you need to walkthrough labyrinth. Several game modes. And, you are - you are little circle. And, you need to find exit from labyrinth – it is also a little circle. You are - a little circle painted with white color. And exit – it is not painted little circle, it has a shape with white color. I call it with word hatch. It is funny. To search hatch in labyrinth. And you are find out yourself in a next level or game complete. So, like endless. So routine. To call new labyrinth from the hatch of previous labyrinth. So, you can imagine these things. To have imagination. About science fiction.

But game is simple. And several game modes are here only. So, it is one labyrinth. And 12 types of labyrinth for selection. They are different with size. 10 or 20 steps in a line. It is square form. And a position for player and hatch. By edges, for example. In center. In quadrants. And, game mode - series of labyrinths. It is, something like, 8 level will be. 

And, that’s all. Most base version of the game. There is no competition here. There is no game for time. Simple – walkthrough the maze. And, I see it more interesting. Even more – look - game with black and white colors. As space. Such a super dimension. Where you do not need to hurry. And do not need to compete with anyone. Simply, little circle is walking in maze in search of the hatch. And, so on. It is like Star Trek search for the Spock. It is a joke.

Game is launched in a square. And, you are searching for the hatch with exit. And, from so multidimensional labyrinth. Everything is in so dark. And lots of mazes! I, once again, cannot stop to use some science fiction here or liminal spaces. But, here it is - this kind of game. Yes, there is nothing like this into it. Simply, maze. And, it is generating. And, you are searching the exit. And, that’s all. And, several types of maze. They are different. You can start in left corner. In center. And, hatch, it is at the right up. Or at the edges of maze hatch can be. And size of maze. So, this is a difference in mazes.

Also, a black and white visual reminds a lot, of course, Ms Dos. I spent lots of time with this environment. And, I like it. So, here it is, simple everything. Little circle. Lines, with them maze is made of. And, text information for menu. Before game you have 5 seconds to see the maze. As a bonus you can count this moment. And next – you are, already, walking in the maze!
