This was a small and simple little game that I made in 2021 to test my knowledge of OpenGL.
I made this a while back when I was learning the basics of OpenGL and I thought it would
be cool if I could create a simple little maze game that would display some of the things
that I learned. I initially wanted the maze to be hand crafted but that proved too much work
for just one level so I decided to instead procedurally generate the maze and after some work,
I was able to get the maze generation to kind of work. I added some spinning yellow cubes that
I called "coins" even though there is no score in the game and the coins are basically useless
and generate only in dead ends. I had a decent amount of fun creating this project and you
can browse the source code here and you
can view the gameplay video along with the
code explanation video on my YouTube.
Controls/Important Notes:
- Use the left/right/down/up arrow keys to move around
- The space bar can be used to jump and peek over the walls
- Find the spinning rainbow cube to beat the maze and new maze will be generated
Important: The folder "shaders" must be in the same
directory as the executable or there must at least be link to it.
