To begin, first click the maze screen once with the mouse. Next, press a number ("0" to "9") or letter ("A" to "F") on your keyboard to select the difficulty of the maze, where "0" is the smallest maze and "F" is the largest maze.
Finding your way out of the maze from the first-person perspective can be very challenging!
| Automap example: |  |  |
If you think you are hopelessly lost, try the cool "Automap" feature to help you visualize the maze. Two images of the same maze are shown above. The image on the left is regular 3D mode. The image on the right shows the Automap enabled.
HOW TO PLAY. The object of 3D Mazes is to move from the entrance to the exit. The exit is located on the outer edge of the maze, as far from the entrance as possible.
Use the following keys to move:
- Up Arrow - Move forward
- Down Arrow - Move backward
- Left Arrow - Turn left
- Right Arrow - Turn right
The Automap shows you an overhead view of the maze. To control the Automap:
- TAB or "M" key - Turn On / Turn Off Automap
- "+" key - Zoom in Automap
- "-" key - Zoom out Automap
- "Z" key - Show entire maze
- "S" key - Show maze solution
Other key commands:
- Escape key - Start over
- CTRL+S - Solve maze by flying through it. This is fun to do with the Automap turned on. (Press the Escape key to stop.)
The skill levels determine the size of the maze, and the number of rooms. Level 0 is an extremely simple 4x4 maze. Level 1 is a reasonably easy 12x12 maze with 2 rooms, and level F is a 300x240 maze with 160 rooms.
Many thanks to Paul Falstad for creating this 3D Mazes game. He obviously put a lot of thought and time into designing and programming this. Enjoy!
