3D Gopher Maze

Find the gopher, escape the maze!

Inspired by 80s games like 3d monster maze and phantom slayer, this is a little maze crawler game using just the terminal for rendering.

You're placed randomly in a maze and you need to find the gopher and escape by finding the exit.

Playing

Launching

Open your terminal of choice and run:

go run cmd/maze/main.go

There are a few environment vars supported for changing behaviours:

Env var	Default	Description
DEBUG	false	Switches on developer debugging. This will stop the screen auto-refreshing and move to slide mode.

Controls

To move around, use W,S,A & D (case insensitve) keys. Quit using q and display help with h

Key	Action
w	Move forward one space
s	Move backwards one space
a	Rotate 90° left
d	Rotate 90° right
q	Quit game
h	Display help

Currently the game doesn't support just press-move; you need to type the letter of the command and hit <return>!

How to win

Note, the win conditions aren't actually implemented yet!

• Find the gopher hidden somewhere in the maze
• Then find the way out! (not implemented yet!)

Exiting the game

Either type q as a command, or use ctrl-c
