I completed a personal game jam this week! I built a 3D maze/scavenger hunt game in Unity over the course of 4 days. :) It was a lot of work, but I also had a lot of fun making it too. It's certainly somethingI'd like to play around with further.

I also published a DEV article about tutorials & how to help folks find their next project post-tutorial. :D

Hi, Lara! Congrats for making the game! I love mazes and have a sleeping project of writing a procedurally generated maze game. Is this game you just made open source?

Hi Marcelo! Thanks! It isn't open-sourced right now, but I was thinking of making it so! I want to clean up the code just a little beforehand since it's a bit messy right now (what'll happen when you rush through a project!). I'll let you know when I do have it available though. :)

That's so cool that you're making a proc gen maze game! It's a topic I'd love to learn more about. There's a book I've wanted to buy for a while now called "Mazes for Programmers". I'm thinking it might actually be a good time to give it a go soon. Anyway, I would love to see your project too! All the best with it!

I have this book, and the algorithm I'm working on is actually based on an improvement made by Jamis Buck himself over one of the algos in the book! I have the PoC implementation made in Java generating a Tiled map file or printing the maze in ASCII to the terminal. Not something I can be proud of but it's on github.com/marcelocg/mazes

OK, that's really cool! Starting with ASCII and the terminal is often the first step to making something bigger and more exciting! I guess it's settled, then, I definitely need to get that book. :)

The game I've been making is just a static/kinetic maze at this point built in Unity. Now I'm wondering if I can add some proc gen features to it! Lots of possibilities to explore...

My job has a legacy front-end for an internal project that we use; myself and another developer were tasked with upgrading it to current company libraries / UX. This last week I

  1. Got the shared module server we use going, having to teach myself how to use it as i went from other places where we use it.
  2. Got the router working and updated
  3. Got the (very) dated back end working and serving data locally.
  4. Got the first of the routes modernized to use our current UI libraries / webpack configuration.
  5. Put the repo in such a place that the other two people working with me have simply branched off of my work to finish their own.
