maze3dflyer is:

An OpenGL graphics demo. It generates a random 3D maze with some configurable properties, and displays the maze using textured 3D graphics. You can "fly" through and around the maze using standard movement controls.

News

• 2008/10/16: released v1.1
• Show solution route (toggle via 'R' key)
• Using this on a level disallows recording a new best score on that level.
• Auto-forward (toggle via 'Q' key) so you don't have to hold down 'W'.
• Note that SHIFT still toggles slow & fast modes, independently of 'Q'.
• Some other refactoring and tweaks.
