Overview<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Maze Craze was made for the UNC Charlotte month long kick off game jam. It is a 2D top down puzzle game. The goal is the race a boss through a maze and get to the end first. You will have obstacles that will get in your way and smaller puzzles you have to complete. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Level Design<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There are two mazes in the game, the second harder then the first. In each maze there is a door blocking the finish. To destroy the door there is a spot in the maze that needs to be reached and then a smaller puzzle that needs to be completed. In the second maze there are two puzzles along with a longer maze. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Bosses<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The bosses use A* pathfinding to complete each maze. This uses a grid system to allow the algorithm to find the best path. This was done so mazes could be added without having to set a strict path for each new boss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    My Contribution<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    I did a majority of the programming for this game jam. I implemented the pathfinding algorithm and designed the mazes to go along with it. I also put in the basic character movement. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
