Brutal Maze is a hack and slash game with fast-paced action and a minimalist

art style.

The game features a trigon trapped in an infinite maze. As our hero tries to
|
2017-11-21 15:49:35 +01:00
|
|
|
escape, the maze's border turns into aggressive squares trying to stop him.
|
|
|
|
Your job is to help the trigon fight against those evil squares and find a way
|
|
|
|
out (if there is any). Be aware that the more get killed, the more will show up
|
|
|
|
and our hero will get weaker when wounded.

Brutal Maze has a few notable feautures:

|
|
|
|
2017-11-21 15:49:35 +01:00
|
|
|
* Being highly portable.
|
2017-10-12 15:29:55 +02:00
|
|
|
* Auto-generated and infinite maze.
|
2017-11-04 15:43:05 +01:00
|
|
|
* No binary data for drawing.
|
2017-11-21 15:49:35 +01:00
|
|
|
* Enemies with special abilities: stun, poison, camo, etc.
|
2017-11-04 15:43:05 +01:00
|
|
|
* Somewhat a realistic physic and logic system.
|
|
|
|
* Resizable game window in-game.

Installation
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Brutal Maze is written in Python and is compatible with both version 2 and 3.
|
|
|
|
The installation procedure should be as simply as follow:
|
|
|
|
|
2017-10-22 12:07:05 +02:00
|
|
|
* Install Python and `pip <https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/>`_. Make sure the
|
2017-11-04 15:43:05 +01:00
|
|
|
directory for `Python scripts <https://docs.python.org/2/install/index.html#alternate-installation-the-user-scheme>`_
|
2017-11-21 15:49:35 +01:00
|
|
|
is in your ``$PATH``.
|
2017-11-04 15:43:05 +01:00
|
|
|
* Open Terminal or Command Prompt and run ``pip install --user brutalmaze``.
|
2018-02-13 16:17:04 +01:00
|
|
|
Now you can launch the game by running the command ``brutalmaze``.

Configuration
|
|
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
|
2018-02-14 16:26:52 +01:00
|
|
|
Brutal Maze supports both configuration file and command-line options.
|
2018-03-05 17:59:02 +01:00
|
|
|
Apparently, while settings for graphics, sound and socket server can be set
|
|
|
|
either in the config file or using CLI, keyboard and mouse bindings are limited
|
|
|
|
to configuration file only.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Settings are read in the following order:
|
2018-02-13 16:17:04 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2018-02-14 16:26:52 +01:00
|
|
|
0. Default configuration [0]_
|
2018-02-13 16:17:04 +01:00
|
|
|
1. System-wide configuration file [1]_
|
|
|
|
2. Local configuration file [1]_
|
|
|
|
3. Manually set configuration file [2]_
|
2018-02-14 16:26:52 +01:00
|
|
|
4. Command-line arguments
|
2018-02-13 16:17:04 +01:00
|
|
|
|
2018-03-05 17:59:02 +01:00
|
|
|
Later-read preferences will overide previous ones.

|
|
|
.. [0] This can be copied to desired location by ``brutalmaze --write-config
|
|
|
|
PATH``. ``brutalmaze --write-config`` alone will print the file to stdout.
|
2018-02-13 16:17:04 +01:00
|
|
|
.. [1] These will be listed as fallback config in the help message
|
2018-02-14 16:26:52 +01:00

|
|
(``brutalmaze --help``). See `wiki <https://github.com/McSinyx/brutalmaze/wiki/Configuration>`_

Remote control
|
|
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you enable the socket server [3]_, Brutal Maze will no longer accept direct
|
|
|
|
input from your mouse or keyboard, but wait for a client to connect. Details
|
|
|
|
about I/O format are explained carefully in
|
|
|
|
`Remote control <https://github.com/McSinyx/brutalmaze/wiki/Remote-control>`_
|
|
|
|
wiki page.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. [3] This can be done by either editing option *Enable* in section *Server*
|
|
|
|
in the configuration file, or launching Brutal Maze using ``brutalmaze
|
|
|
|
--server``.
