3D Maze Game

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.
