pharoahQML 3D Labyrinth
Well, Todd pulled out some old projects, so I thought I might show you something I got working but never completed. It's kind of fun to play with, the QML 3D Labyrinth:
http://pharoah.xetaspace.net/labyrinth/
If anyone wants, I might be inspired to make a game of it, with a scoreboard or something to see who can solve mazes the fastest (I'd hide the map, of course). Anyway, I'd almost forgotten about this game, but I'm proud of it, and I was sad to see it languish there without anyone knowing about it.		2011-03-2010:36 PM

That's pretty cool, but where's the end? 		2011-03-2011:10 PM
ToddRe:QML 3D Labyrinth
That's pretty neat! One idea I have is what if you had people login with a screen name or handle, then when you login it shows them where they last left off. Then if they come across others in the maze, they'll show up and can even leave messages for them or something. Just an idea to make it a little "funner."		2011-03-2011:36 PM

I don't know how I'd display the people, but it's a good idea. The way I make the maze is by compositing premade segments of text for the left and right sides according to whether there is a wall or opening there. I'd need to draw some people sprites, which would be difficult for me. Any ASCII artists out there? We could possibly make this into a MUD if we could get it to work.		2011-03-2112:43 AM

This might work better if you're looking for something smaller: ___ /o|o\ | \_/ | \___/ | \|/ | / \ / \ 		2011-03-211:26 AM

Try editing your posts and putting <tty> and <pre> tags around the ASCII so it stays formatted correctly, e.g.: <tty> <pre> ______ ____ ____ ______ ______ /\ _ \/\ _`\ /\ _`\ /\__ _\\__ _\ \ \ \L\ \ \,\L\_\ \ \/\_\/_/\ \//_/\ \/ \ \ __ \/_\__ \\ \ \/_/_ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \/\ \/\ \L\ \ \ \L\ \ \_\ \__\_\ \__ \ \_\ \_\ `\____\ \____/ /\_____\\_____\ \/_/\/_/\/_____/\/___/ \/_____//_____/ </tty> </pre> 		2011-03-219:49 AM

This is awesome! I'd love to see it develop into something.		2011-03-2111:25 AM

Maybe he would look better like this: _ / \ \_/ /|\ | / \ For xkcd fans: ___ _|_|_ / \ \_/ /|\ | / \ 		2011-03-212:15 PM
pharoahRe:QML 3D Labyrinth
Nice figures :). The difficult thing here will be to get the same person drawn at 5 different sizes, so the perspective will look good. Here's a shot from the labyrinth: ╔════════════════════════════════╗ ║. .║ Forward ║|`. .'|║ ║| `. .' |║ Left Right ║| |. .| |║ ║| | `. .' | |║ Back ║| | |. .| | |║ ║| | | |. ____ _| | | |║ ║| | | | | | | | | |║ ║| | | | |____|_| | | |║ ║| | | |' | | | |║ ║| | |' `| | |║ ║| | .' `. | |║ ║| |' `| |║ ║| .' `. |║ ║|.' `.|║ ║' `║ ╚════════════════════════════════╝ See the lines on the walls? Those separate the segments of text, like sprites, that the program composites together. There are 5 depth levels. We need images of what looks like the same exact person at these 5 different depths, with a height that looks like he would fit properly in the hallway.		2011-03-213:30 PM

pharoahRe:QML 3D Labyrinth
Sweet! I think I can come up with different expressions for the faces, too. Users could set them and I could swap them out. This will be fun to work on, although it'll have to wait until later this week.		2011-03-219:15 PM

Awesome, glad to be of assistance.		2011-03-219:50 PM

I tweaked the figures a bit to try to make the heads a bit more round (hope you don't mind). Here are some shots at 4 distances.

i think that you're probably a better ascii artist than me.		2011-03-2110:22 PM
pharoahRe:QML 3D Labyrinth
A couple of years ago I read up on some tricks to make rounded edges and stuff, but I can't really do art. ASCII is more restrictive, so things come out looking better.		2011-03-2110:23 PM
