RCWeb Maze

Maze is a first-person 3D labyrinth for an RCWeb display. The screen shows a torchlit stone maze with torchlight and stone corridors, and a phone running the companion maze-c controller walks the player through it while drawing a live 2D map of the route walked so far.

Open /maze/?r=<room> on the display and scan the on-screen QR code to join the same room from a phone.

Features

• Explore growing mazes across five visual themes.
• A phone map that reveals the route you have walked.
• Time and step counts for each level.

The game

Every level is a freshly generated labyrinth. The player starts in one corner and has to find the glowing exit portal set into the outer wall, which is always a long walk away through the corridors. Reaching it clears the level, shows the time and step count, and builds a bigger maze.

• Level 1 is a 9 x 9 grid of corridors. Each level adds a ring of corridors up to a 21 x 21 maze.
• Mazes contain loops and alternative paths, so there is more than one way around.
• Each level uses a different theme: Catacombs, Ice Vault, Ember Mine, Verdant Ruin, and Void Temple, then the cycle repeats with larger grids.
• Time and steps are tracked for each level and shown on the display and on the phone.

Movement

Movement is deliberately simple, because the player is steering a first-person camera from a phone.

• The player always walks along the centre line of a corridor, one square at a time.
• Forward and back move smoothly between squares with acceleration, head bob, and a soft stop at the next square centre, so holding forward produces continuous walking rather than a stutter step.
• Turns snap to 90 degrees and are animated over a quarter of a second. Holding a turn button keeps rotating in that direction.
• Turning while walking is allowed: the step in progress finishes along its original corridor while the view rotates, which reads as cutting the corner.
• Walking into a wall gives a short bump, a thud, and a Wall ahead message on the phone.

Controls

• Phone: Forward, Back, Turn left, and Turn right are hold-to-act buttons on maze-c.
• Display keyboard: W/S walk, A/D turn, R builds a new maze.
