Rudimentary 3D maze navigation game, complete with ghosts to run from, 'dots' to eat, and coins that allow you to have a go at your enemies.

Uses a DFS algorithm to randomly generate the edges of the maze. A sequence of numbers from 0 to n-1, where n is the total number of cells, is shuffled randomly. Once all cells are generated and edges are determined, each cell is assigned a spawn number from the shuffled sequence, a modulus of which is used by the MazeCell instance to determine whether the cell will spawn a coin or dot. Difficulty rises exponentially with maze size, not just because of size alone, but also the scarcity of coins.
Four ghosts are spawned by the Game singleton at the four centermost cells of the Maze. Each one uses a NavMeshAgent to pursue the player-character. If a coin is obtained, scatter mode is activated by the FirstPerson instance, and the ghosts flee the player-character for 12.5 seconds by setting their destinations to their original starting cells in the center of the maze.
