Hello,
I've just released Pipmaze 0.2, and made a page on the Pipmak wiki: http://pipmak.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Pipmaze_maze_generator Any feedback (positive or negative) would be welcome. I posted about this before, but without much explanation, and I think I just happened to pick a bad time :) -Aidan ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Pipmak-Users mailing list Pipmak-Users@... news://news.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.user https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pipmak-users |

I didn't use Lua because I didn't want to integrate it with Pipmak, and I used Ruby because its object-oriented architecture made it very easy to organize the maze data (into objects). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Pipmak-Users mailing list Pipmak-Users@... news://news.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.user https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pipmak-users |

You should be able to just put the file "cmd.rb" in the same directory as
"pipmaze.rb". Try this and let me know if you have any trouble. I seem to remember reading somewhere that the Ruby install that Apple ships with Macintosh doesn't have the Readline library, and doesn't let you load C modules (so you can't just get Readline and install it yourself). -Aidan Christian Walther wrote: > For those like me who have never used Ruby, and are too busy to spend > the time to figure it out on their own at the moment, could you > explain how to install the prerequisite "cmd" package? > > From the URL you provided, I downloaded a file named "cmd-0.7.2.gem". > Unsure what to do with it, I discovered that there is a command-line > tool called "gem".

When I ran "ruby pipmaze.rb 15 12", it stopped because I don't have a command-line version of POV-Ray installed. So I manually rendered the images. Your maze.ini file doesn't include an image size, is that intentional? I used 512x512. Then I moved the partially-generated Pipmak project out of the way and ran Maze> yload maze.yaml Maze> pipmak That produced a differently incomplete Pipmak project: the images were there now, but all the node.lua and main.lua files were empty. I combined the two projects into a working one by taking the "images" folder from the second and the rest from the first. Exploring the maze in Pipmak works well, only the exit mark is a bit inconspicuous - I missed it on my first exhaustive way through the maze, I only noticed it when I went straight there using the ASCII map. Perhaps the exit node could be distinguished somehow in the POV- Ray scene already, so that it is also recognizable from neighboring nodes? Your maze generation algorithm is good, it seems to generate more straight passages and less one-unit-long dead-ends than in the totally random mazes I used to get when I dabbled in maze generation algorithms. Next step - more interesting walls than polished marble cuboids? Hedges? Randomized wall heights so that you can see other parts of the maze from some locations? -Christian ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Pipmak-Users mailing list Pipmak-Users@... news://news.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.user https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pipmak-users |

I couldn't reproduce this (don't you just hate that? :( ). I guess this one will have to remain mysterious, until someone can figure out what triggers this. > Exploring the maze in Pipmak works well, only the exit mark is a bit > inconspicuous - I missed it on my first exhaustive way through the > maze, I only noticed it when I went straight there using the ASCII > map.

Ok, added that to the development repository. > Your maze generation algorithm is good, it seems to generate more > straight passages and less one-unit-long dead-ends than in the totally > random mazes I used to get when I dabbled in maze generation algorithms. Actually, I didn't come up with it myself, I just came up with the implementation. I found the algorithm (written in pseudo-code) at... http://www.mazeworks.com/mazegen/mazetut/index.htm > Next step - more interesting walls than polished marble cuboids? > Hedges?

I like the idea of being able to see other parts of the maze from some locations, without being able to see how to get there. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Pipmak-Users mailing list Pipmak-Users@... news://news.gmane.org/gmane.games.devel.pipmak.user https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/pipmak-users |
