n-c0de-r / TaurosTraps

Making a Labyrinth in Unity as a part of an assessment task for an internship position.

Tauros Traps

After lots of back and forth this implements the recursive backtracking algorithm. For efficiency reasons, it also should use multible starting cells, and instead of classes uses structs. Other than that it should hopefully rely on bitwise operations for calculating paths, as these are faster.

Style

This project generates 2D pixelart mazes.

Multimedia

Sources mainly from OpenGameArt.org, editing via Audacity for audio, and Avidemux & Shotcut for video, LibreSprite was used to edit & make some assets.

Bonus (if I can make it)

Provides a little game experience within the labyrinth. With collectible objects and some tiny additional challenge.
