A collaborative effort to create structured data about secret, locked locations inspired by Inyuki's idea.
To play:
Visit my maze at: http://maze.mindey.com.
To start your own:
Demo youtube video, alternatively: mp4 (115MB).
git clone --recursive https://github.com/mindey/xmaze.git xmaze
cd xmaze
php -S localhost:8000 -t maze maze/index.php
and visit localhost:8000 on your machine. Once satisfied, just sync it with some domain where PHP is available, for example, by:
Replace data.json with fresh start, e.g.:
{
"rooms": [
{
"name": "home",
"doors": [
{
"name": "math",
"task": "1+1=?",
"hint": "Try to change the URL address...",
"key": "2",
"redirect": "/room/neworld"
}
]
},
{
"name": "neworld",
"hint": "hello, to new world!"
}
]
}To publish:
rsync -aPzr /path/to/xmaze/maze/* --rsh='ssh -p22' user@host:/path/to/public_html/
Note: if you get a long waiting under redirect, it might be that your pgae doesn't exist.
Note: you might need to add the following .htaccess file to directory:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
The goal is to introduce content to learners, students, etc. by enciting them to solve problems in order to reveal secrets. I call the format for rooms and doors between them, defining a maze, a zone. Below is the beginning for a schema definition for secret locked locations.
Difference between room and door, is that rooms provide rewards, and doors provide challenges.
room
{
"@context": {
"maze": {
"room": {
"@id": "http://github.com/mindey/xmaze/room/tbd",
"@type": "@id"
},
},
"xsd": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#"
}
}
door
{
"@context": {
"maze": {
"door": {
"@id": "http://github.com/mindey/xmaze/door/tbd",
"@type": "@id"
},
},
"xsd": "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#"
