The Maze is an immersive 3D maze game that transforms a simple 2D map into a dynamic and navigable 3D world using ray casting techniques. Whether you're exploring the intricate pathways or racing against time, The Maze offers a unique challenge that tests both your problem-solving skills and spatial awareness.
The Maze was meticulously crafted in C using the powerful SDL2 library. The development was conducted on Ubuntu 24.04, leveraging the capabilities of gcc (Ubuntu 11.3.0-1ubuntu1~22.04) 11.3.0 for compilation. The project emphasizes performance, precision, and a deep integration with low-level hardware access to deliver a smooth and engaging gameplay experience.
Simple DirectMedia Layer (SDL2) is a robust, cross-platform development library designed to provide low-level access to essential components like audio, keyboard, mouse, joystick, and graphics hardware via OpenGL and Direct3D. This library is widely used across the gaming and software development industry, powering everything from video playback software and emulators to some of the most popular games in the market, including Valve's award-winning catalog and many Humble Bundle titles.
