The OpenGL 3D Maze Game is an exciting and challenging game built using OpenGL. It offers a unique and immersive experience to players who enjoy solving puzzles and exploring labyrinthine worlds.
The game is played using the W, A, S, and D keys on the keyboard. These keys allow the player to navigate the maze and interact with various objects. The game also has different versions, each with its own unique features and improvements.
The code was compiled using gcc and the following flags.
-Wall -Werror -Wextra -pedantic
To run the game, visit Version 3
Then, run in your teminal
./a.out
Note: This is for MacOS Only
Once you've compiled the code, you can run the game by typing ./a.out into your terminal or by dragging and dropping the a.out file onto the terminal icon.
Once the game starts, you can use the following keys to navigate the maze:
- W: Move forward
- A: Rotate towards the left
- D: Rotate towards the right
- S: Move backward
- E: Open doors (in version 3, doors will not open if the player doesn't possess a key)
The game contains six folders, each with its own specific functionality:
Starting-SDL: This folder contains the initial steps taken with the SDL library, such as installation, initializing SDL, and setting up a window.
Starting_SDL_With_OpenGl: This folder explores another library that could make the game faster and more efficient. It compares the SDL and OpenGL libraries.
Version-1: This is the first version of the game's raycaster. It's a bit laggy, but it works. It contains a makefile used to compile the source code.
Version-2: This version includes new features such as collision detection, wall, door, ceiling, floor, and window textures. It improves upon the previous version by providing a more realistic environment.
Version-3: This is the current version of the game, and it includes even better textures, a lose and win state, and an enemy sprite. In this version, the player must navigate through the maze while avoiding the enemy to win.
