Most of the screensavers from Windows XP and Windows Anyway everything else is good.

The ceiling texture was a 33x33 and this doesn't work well with WebGL because it isn't a Power of Two.

So I used GIMP to create the 99x99 image that corresponds to one cell of the maze and then upscaled it to a x image. The lookat function from Maze. There is a nextMove function that determines the next step based on the current position, movement, and direction. The goal is to always follow the right wall.

This function is used by both the camera and the rat, but the rat calls it twice as often as the camera so they move at different speeds and it's possible to cross. There are several objects floating throughout the maze. These positions and of the 2D texture objects are chosen at initialization and stored locally in javascript variables. There are four types of polyhedra visible: tetrahedrons, octahedrons, octahedrons, and dodecahedrons.

Dodecahedrons are a little bit harder than the other three because the sides aren't triangular. The coloring is done by having each face be a slightly darker shade of gray than the previous face.

This results in a very similar look to the original so it seems certain that Microsoft used a method like this. The effect of hitting any polyhedra is the same. Movement freezes, and the up vector is rotated 90 degrees about the current direction the camera was faced in. Then the polyhedra is removed from the map. There are a few textures that appear in the middle of the maze.

I couldn't figure out how to extract these from the screensaver, so I extracted them from a unity clone of the screensaver I found online. Because these are 2D I have them always rotate with the camera so the normal will always face the user when moving towards them. This appears in the square immediately in front of the camera. The camera is rotated at initialization until it is facing an open cell. This marks the end of the maze. When you hit it the walls come down in reverse of the opening animation , the initialization is repeated, and then new walls go up.

When you move the mouse, the screensaver "exits" to desktop. This is based on There is some basic lighting implemented that can be toggled on and off by pressing spacebar. Points further from the camera appear darker. This wasn't part of the original screensaver. These have been tested to run on Google Chrome remotely, but will not run locally.

They seem to run locally on Firefox though. Skip to content. Star Branches Tags. Could not load branches.
