How could i start off with a labyrinth game. creating the walls and moving functions. how would i go about this. thanks in advance.

any help would really be appreciated

Is this looking top down, like looking at rats in a maze or 3D like walking in a maze?

Simon

thanks for the reply i was thinking a mixture of both if its possible

Here is a stack to get you started: It's a very very simple implementation of the top down maze, all the code is in the ball script.
This is not the best way (didn't spend much time building it) but something for you to play with.

Simon

thank you ill let you know how it works out. Is it possible to make the walls on the maze 3d or more realistic?

Hi orbinv,
You will see that there are only 2 objects in the stack, the graphic ball and the image maze. The maze can be any image but making it 3D is up to you. Once you have your 3D image you can just replace the image I have there and adjust the script. Note that your image must have transparency for the paths, this is how the program "knows" where the walls are.
if intersect(graphic "ball", image "maze",255) then
Have you looked up "intersect" in the dictionary? Do you understand what that 255 stands for?

will i have to create my own 3d images? lets say if i wanted different levels i would have to create multiple 3d images for this? How would I go about making the image transparent? Yes I have looked it up but I'm still not to sure how that works. Sorry I'm new to this.

Hi orbinv,
Yes, you will have to create your own 3D images. You can use Googles SketchUp it's free:

There are good video's there to show you what is involved.
Transparency (alpha) you'll just have to learn about.

But the answer I presented isn't the only way of making a maze game there can be many more.

Simon

Could you describe a few if you dont mind and thanks for the advice. Im making some progress.

no, not me, you got the one...
keep learning

Simon

thanks by the way for all the help.

One more question how do i apply the 3d image to the main stack?

From the file menu:
File>Import as control>Image

my 3d file is .skp , do i need to convert this file to anything specifically?
