Maze World

In development, ongoing project dependant on your participation.

As many of you may know, I love mazes. SL used to have a fair number of them, but they are few and far between these days. I want to generate some interest in maze building and provide some additional interactive entertainment in world.

Here is the concept. I see mazes as art, so I want to showcase your work. I want the mazes to be fairly small and fun for the guests. Many are intimidated by mazes, I want to change that and make it a fun experience to interact with them. If you have fun building small mazes for this project, your welcome to build larger complex mazes on your land.

My role: I will buy your maze for L$300 for the right to display it on my plot of land. It will stay in world on a rotating basis for approximately one week. I will host an unveiling party to draw attention to it. I will post the plot of land in the directory and amend the description based on who has a maze on show. I will post your pic and bio on a sign near your maze, along with an ad and landmarks for your other projects, if you choose.

Maze Building Guidlines
1. Max size is 24m x 32m.
2. Max prim use will be 200.
3. One level. (for now)
4. Original design. Traps and scripts okay as long as is fun.
5. Maze must be completely linked. One unit preferred, no more than two.
5. Must have a start and finish and have a solution.

Additionally, you must be willing to sell a copy of your maze to me for L$300. You should be willing to attend the unveiling party. You will need to write a short bio or description of the maze and/or advertise other projects you have going in world.

Please respond to this post if you are interested in this project. See me in world for any additional questions. Thank you for helping me to make Maze World a reality. If you already have a maze in world, contact me and I will create a maze landmark directory.

You can now search "maze" with the FIND tool in world to locate Maze World.

I have not developed the land yet, but I put up the first maze I built so you can see the location and get some ideas for maze designs.

I've not made a maze yet in-world but this is an awesome idea and I'd love to participate. I've been planning to make one eventually and this is a good thing to get me motivated.

ive scripted a maze generator which generates random mazes up to a 9*9 grid size and a recently a maze reflector which rezes mazes which have been created outside of SL.

i was able to rez a 30*30 maze in sandbox successfully (900 prims)

it could even get bigger ..

well, a theres a 40*40 maze in the sandbox today

I saw your maze generator, Sion. Pretty cool stuff.

Unfortunately, Maze World is dead, at least for now. Sorry I didnt update the thread, there was not much interest in this project and I didnt think anyone needed an update and I sort of forgot. If you (or anyone) puts up a maze, please feel free to post the location here.

The only maze I know of in world right now is the Linden one in Rizal.

I saw your maze - cool

I stood staring at the maze reflector but never saw my reflection !

Works on mazes made outside Sl ? How ? ..what Format ?

I think I saw a price of 1200l$ on your reflector...

I'll buy it if you can give more details on :

Is it customizable
Random maze generation from "files" possible
etc

Very Very Cool !

davo!

the price on the reflector was set to L$1250 accidentally. further its not finished yet - i worked on the roof generation yesterday and to today im going to work on a more acceptable look of the maze itself.

i dont even know if im going to sell it at all.

greets,

Hi Loki,
If you decide to restart Mazeworld, I'd be happy to contribute. I have an idea for one.
