(Game) Maziak

One of my favorite MSX games from around about 1987 was Maziak. And because it is nowhere to found on the internet anymore, I made a C++ clone of it on the 20th October of 2007.

On the fifth of February, I discovered that the original game name was 'Maziacs' or 'Mazogs'. And that my clone was not that identical at all.

Maziak is a simple maze game, in which you have to find a maze's exit. But there are also enemies in the maze that can be beaten by a sword. There are also prisoners, that temporarily show the way to the exit upon freeing them.

Maziak is programmed in C++ using the IDE C++ Builder 6.0. It uses the STL, VCL and Boost library. Maziak relies heavily on the functions CreateMaze, CreateSloppyMaze, SolveMaze, CountDeadEnds and SetPixel.
