I've been working on a computer game called MazeQuest.
The game is for a project in multimedia class. We've had a few months to
make a multimedia application of our own choice and to document all choices
and considerations we've made in the design.
I chose to make a small computer game with lots of POV-Ray graphics and
animations in it. :) A few images from the game can be seen in
povray.binaries.images.
The concept is extremely simple and the gameplay is not very good, but you
can always just look at it as an extended graphics gallery. ;)
The game is about 2.7 MB. The first beta is up now for anyone interested.
It's just a zip file that you have to download and unzip.
The game runs on Windows and requires ActiveX if I'm not mistaken.
Furthermore it apparently requires a not-too-slow computer - I've been
developing the game at school where it runs fine and it also runs fine on
our 1 GHz computer at home, but on my Pentium 150 it messes completely up
and then crashes... :(
There are also some problems with the animations getting a red tint for some
reason. Restarting the game sometimes help for that.
I have made the game with an authoring tool that keeps me far away from any
actual program code, so all such problems are not my fault!
One more thing to keep in mind is that the game is foremost made as a school
project - and while it probably impresses my teacher, it probably looks
rather dump if you interpret it as a serious attempt at making an actual
game...
Ok, I think I've warned you enough by now.
I haven't had time to set up a webpage for the game, but it can be
downloaded from here:

Feedback is much appreciated as always!

PS, Sam Benge (SamuelT) just mailed me. He's lurking on these newsgroups but
are unfortunately not able to post at the moment. I should tell you all
"Howdy!" from him. :)

That was amazing. I got to level four. It was a bit difficult, though... fun
though, I liked it. Good animations and all.

On my win2000 machine at work, it runs fine for a couple of minutes, then causes
a sudden reboot (which requires a second, controlled, reboot to get network
connections up and running again).
What I saw looked nice though....

Did I say ActiveX? I meant DirectX. I guess I was mistaken then...

Thanks for trying it out!
Did the computer hang or just the game?
Did you attempt playing it more than once (and if yes, did it hang all the
times)?
What computer do you have and which windows version?

Aww, too bad. :(
Seems like the authoring tool we use has a lot of bugs. :(
What computer did you use?

I'm glad you liked it and that it worked for you without problems. :)
What computer do you have and which windows version?
You can easily edit the levels and make your own. Just look in the data
folder for the text files called level1.txt, level2.txt etc.
If you make any custom levels I'd be interested in seeing them, and maybe
implement
them in the game!
