Description
two part maze that configures randomly This is my entry for the TWP April '08 mapping contest "innovation challenge." This is a 2-part maze where the configuration of each part is randomly selected in-game from two pools of presets. The first half is a traditional hedge-style maze that the player must navigate to obtain the portal gun. There are 14 different versions, which make up every major configuration that allows the player to access all areas of the hedge maze. They are all fairly easy. The second half uses portals to navigate between fence-enclosed chambers. There are 16 versions available, which make up only a small fraction of the possible configurations. For aesthetic reasons, they are fairly short; each should require the player to pass through a portal nine times. Of course if you get lost, you may have to use a few more than that. To help the player orient, number signs have been added to the four center chambers, and the exit has signs around it. I would rate them all as medium difficulty. At the end of the level, the map automatically restarts, leaving the player without the portal gun (for continuity sticklers, the player is rendered unconscious, and the gun is taken away.) Hopefully this will prompt players to play the map a couple of times and get the full benefit of randomization. There is no ending; it just keeps restarting until the player chooses to quit. And finally, just for fun, I set the music to pick randomly from eight of the calmer pieces from the original Portal.
