Experimental Maze with Python and PyOpenGL

An experimental maze built with Python and OpenGL. Textures generated by Midjourney.

Requirements

• Python 3
• PyOpenGL
• NumPy 1.26.4 pip install numpy==1.26.4 (there are issues with recent versions of NumPy)

Tested with Python 3.10.12 on Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS.

Running

In the root path, enter: python3 maze.py

Maps

Maps can be found in the /map directory. To load a map, pass the map name as a parameter:

Leave out the map parameter to generate a random map.

S = Move back

A = Turn left

D = Turn right

, = Strafe left

. = Strafe right

Things to do
