Is it possible to make a 3d maze in DB without any external programs/media? I had an idea of just putting loads of primitives around and positioning them but it seems kind of inefficient. Also, it'll have to be able to test for collisions. Thanks

Try searching the forums first

And if you want no media, get rid of the textures.

Be warned that above link is to one of my first ever progams and may need a bit of tinkering to work properly with later versions of DBPro. However the basics of generating a maze and building all the walls is there. Enjoy!

I made a maze using cuboids (3d 'boxes'), a matrix and a couple of textures. There were quite a few of them, and it ran ok on 390 MHz with 64 MB RAM.

What would Goku do?

check out my 20 line pacman entry the actual game isn't that good but it uses data to build th level out of 3d cubes here it is in an easy to read form


it works quite well and can also be used to place the dots and ghosts on the level, it also determines where the player starts
