RCWeb Maze Control

maze-c is the smartphone controller and live map for the RCWeb maze display. Open it by scanning the QR code on the maze display, or visit /maze-c/?r=<room> with the same room.

Features

• Draws a 2D top-down map that fills in as the player explores. Only squares that have been walked are revealed, along with their walls, so corridors and side openings appear one square at a time. The starting square, the player arrow with its vision cone, and the pulsing exit are always drawn; everything not yet visited stays dark.
• Sends hold-to-act movement: Forward, Back, Turn left, Turn right.
• Shows the current level, level time, step count, and network status.
• New maze asks the display to abandon the current labyrinth and generate a fresh level 1.

Controls

• Hold Forward to keep walking down the corridor. The player stops centred on the next square when the button is released.
• Hold a turn button to keep rotating in 90 degree steps.
• Turning while walking is allowed, so corners can be taken without stopping.
• A desktop keyboard can drive the same actions with W/S and A/D, as an alternative to touch.
• Controls release when the phone is hidden or loses focus; if the connection drops, wait for control ownership to recover.

Control ownership

The maze is a single-player walk, so only one phone drives at a time.

• The first phone in the room takes the controls and shows In control.
• Extra phones show Watching and still receive the map and live position, so a group can follow the run together.
• If the owning phone leaves the room or stops checking in for seven seconds, the longest-waiting watcher takes over.
• Refreshing in the same browser can reclaim your place and controls.
