A mostly faithful re-creation of the Windows 95 3D Maze Screensaver in JavaScript with WebGL.
Based off the existing work of ibid-11962 from here:
https://github.com/ibid-11962/Windows-95-3D-Maze-Screensaver
The following changes have been made to improve faithfulness to the original screensaver:
- Camera makes move decision at edge of cell, not in center
- Camera swings around corners instead of stopping to turn
- Camera flips in front of fliprocks instead of inside them
- Start image is in actual starting cell instead of one ahead
- Happy face is visible as maze collapses instead of camera landing through it
- Pathfinding method is randomly chosen between left-wall-hug or right-wall-hug at maze creation, instead of always choosing right
- Fliprocks expand/collapse with maze at begin/end
TODO:
- (high prio.) Complete rewrite using object model
- (med.) Add a speed governor routine to normalize travel speed regardless of framerate
- (low) Rewrite turn algorithm to move position radially from one cell edge to next, instead of linearly
