A "2D random maze" game, navigate through it in 3D
This is a rewritten-from-scratch, modified version of my previous Hazlab project.
The goal is still to provide an example of simple 3D-graphics application, while being a programming training for me.
Changes from Hazlab:
- command line for choosing the size (rather than a graphical menu)
- the command line also permits to make a no-loop ("perfect") maze, by default a non-perfect maze is generated
- diffuse lighting instead of textures
- one point of view only (first person)
- fixed window size (not resizable, no fullscreen)
- written in C99 instead of C90
- use of GLFW instead of GLUT
- more conventional coding style
- focus on portability across POSIX systems only (no longer Window$-friendly)
- better algorithms
- MSAA
TODOS:
- add something?
- nice ending when the exit is reached (instead of brutal program quit)
You need the GLFW3 library; for example on Debian run apt install libglfw3 libglfw3-dev.
Install glad.
Select Language C/C++, Specification OpenGL, API gl 3.3 (gles1/2/3 None), Profile Core, no extension, Generate a loader.
Copy the content of the generated include folder to your system (/usr/local/include/).
Also, copy glad.c into the hazlab2 project folder, next to the other C source files.
Install (system-wide) cglm 0.8.5.
You can now compile it: make release. It produces an executable named "hazlab2" in the project folder.
(docopt notation is used)
./hazlab2 [-s<n>] [-p] [-a<n>]
The -s option controls the size of the randomly-generated square maze. n must be between 1 and 16, the default is 8.
A value of 1 is of no interest (just for test/debug purpose).
The -p option tells hazlab2 to create a perfect maze (no loops). Otherwise there may be loops in it (the smaller the maze is, the highest probability it's perfect, even without -p).
The -a option controls MSAA (n samples). The default is 2, the max is 8. Set it to 0 to disable AA.
Once the game is launched, just use the arrow keys to navigate through the maze.
