HTML mazes
These mazes do not require any special plugins or advanced browsers - simply click on the links! There are two types of mazes - the simple ASCII art (text) version, and the slightly more sophisticated version with a 3D view. Your objective in both of these is to find the magical *
which is cunningly concealed somewhere in the winding passages...
Instructions
Below the visible map segment is a set of compass-point links which control your movement through the maze, and should be self-explanatory. In the map itself, the ASCII characters represent:
- X = wall
- o = you
- * = your goal
- / = elevator going up
- \ = elevator going down
- Beware - some walls are not what you think they are, and some are invisible!
When you've reached the goal - a Well done message will appear at the top of the window.
The mazes
| Maze number | Basic text | GIF Maze |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | maze 1 | maze 1 |
| 2 | maze 2 | |
| 3 | maze 3 |
The mazes may take several seconds to load, and possibly longer for slower computers/connections. If your browser does not have JavaScript enabled, you might need to manually resize your browser window to only show one maze page
at a time.
How it works
The maze is actually made up of lots of map segments chained together on one HTML page, with the movement done via #
links.
