Hi all,

I hope this is the right forum for this :) I've been building a maze game based on the old Atari Maze Craze with updated graphics, using HTML and javascript, downloadable as an Opera widget. I posted a completed version recently and I hope to get some feedback on playability from players who knew the original :) I'd especially like suggestions on how to improve the random maze generation algorithm, if possible. Is there anyplace I can find the original algorithm to study?

You can download the widget using the Opera browser from here: http://widgets.opera.com/widget/5654

Thanks for any feedback in advance!

Yesh, I know :( However, I find widgets provide a very easy platform for creating standalone games on the desktop. And with Opera, you don't need to download an executable, as well as your browser, in order to run the widgets.

I know not everyone will want to download Opera to see the widget, but thanks to everyone who'll take the time to check it out! :) I really appreciate it!

Cheers

Well, now I know what a widget is. :P

It looks very nice, but it plays really slow on my computer. Is that due to Opera, or because I have a 6 year old Windows ME-based PC that is currently throwing a rod?
