Mazer - procedural maze generator in Lazarus using Castle Game Engine
« on: September 03, 2015, 06:55:21 am »
A maze generator created using Lazarus + Castle Game Engine
No much game at the moment, just walk around a crooked 9-level maze to find a rose :)

Very cool. Reminds me of some old early 90's engines.

He did some updates to the demo, that you can see in this thread from Pascal Game Development.

Eugene:  You shouldn't be so shy...  ;D

Thanks!  ;) I'm just preparing for a bigger update.
And I don't want to waste too much attention in non-game-design specific forum.

I'm back with a huge update - a library tileset with placeholders!
Now you'll know why does it takes so long for librarians to fetch your book!

Video:

(smaller map, higher FPS)

(larger map, lower FPS)
I'll post the last code version on GitHub asap.

Cool.  But lighting needs some work...

Definitely. As far as I understand it's shader-related, and I'm absolutely newbie in shaders :) So I want to concentrate on gameplay and FPS optimization (to provide for really huge maps) at the moment... I'll have to postpone shaders for later...

Latest version uploaded to GitHub:
Source: https://github.com/eugeneloza/Mazer
Release (Win/Linux): https://github.com/eugeneloza/Mazer/releases/tag/v.160208

P.S. If anybody could look at my code and say if it's properly commented, I'd be very grateful, because it's the first time I write the code intended not only for my eyes :D

Personally I don't like C++ comments (//).  I tend to use (* *) for important stuff and { } to explain code inside the methods, functions and procedures.

I recommend you to read about pasdoc.  It forces you to document everything in a way that in my opinion is very human-friendly.  Take a look to my Allegro.pas code to see it in action.

I like you have explained stuff inside the code.  Not a lot of people do that and it helps a lot.  Note that when we are writing code it always looks clear and even obvious, but in most cases it isn't!  Explaining it a bit helps to understand it, even to yourself when you're updating it some weeks/months later.

Thanks! I'll have a close look at those!
