Procedural labyrinth

an abandoned project

Goal: escape the maze when you suffer memory loss ;-)

A couple of years ago I was playing with an algorithm for generating (pseudo)random mazes. I used the simple method presented by Daniel Shiffman in his Coding Challenge series (link below), based on a Wiki page (link below). Programming in GODOT, I used MultiMeshInstance (for multiple walls), and an interesting (at least I think so) mechanic: sclerosis ;-) or better: MEMORY LOSS.

the MEMORY LOSS mechanics

Wandering around the labyrinth, it's hard to tell if we've been here before or not. The walls all look so similar to each other - and in my project even identical! Of course, our brain is slow to write down the locations, but... The program also remembers your path. You can RECALL THE MEMORY with the SHIFT key, but this is where the catch is - in a moment the memory image is lost! disappears! because thinking hurts :D or whatever reasons ;-) We're tired and need a moment to rest. After a short while, you can recall your memory again, including the entire route you’ve taken.  I had an idea how to use it, but like many other projects - it remained in the drawer after creating a small prototype....

CONTROLS:
WSAD to move, MOUSE to look around, E to interact, holt SHIFT key to recall MEMORY (remember - in a moment you will loos it! but wait a moment and press again).
