Maze Runner

Description
Very basic wallpaper with some characters trying to find the exit of a maze. Area will change once everyone reached the exit and everything repeats.

Comes with a few different tilesets so you can enjoy my awesome drawing skills...

AI is fairly dumb, but will avoid checking the same dead end twice.

Update Notes
  • Renamed some settings internally so you might have to reconfigure them. This was needed to keep settings maintainable
  • Changed maze generation a little, though doubt anyone will notice.
  • Recode some of the rendering so lower performance on high detailed mazes ( aka small graphics )
  • Added a few more tiles
  • Can now diable the "fog'o'war" by changing the time of day.
  • Added spawn rate option
  • Added option to disable animations to save some CPU when rendering very small sprites
  • Added option to lower the maximum amount of unused space.
  • Increased graphics scale range in both directions.
  • Added option to regenerate map on command.
  • Added a "enable limitation" option. Disable this to be able to add more then 20 characters to the maze.
  • Fixed fps being fixed at 30
  • Renamed Spawn Rate
  • Added margin options to offset the taskbar. When daytime is set to night it will also show an indication of the area when changing the settings. Might make the indication work all the time later if there are people using daytime mode.
  • Believe i fixed a problem related to the new rendering method that in some cases could create antialiasing bugs on the tiles resulting in stripes between the tiles on a low graphic scale.

That is a unique and intelligent idea of desktop wallpaper! A small suggestion:if there has any chance that would add a function of changing the small man color? Which we could guess who is the final winner.:steamhappy:

My new favorite thing on the Steam Workshop. This is amazing! Some additional character sprites to add some variety to the maze runners would be fun. Thanks for creating this!

If I ever catch up with everything and have the time I will keep that in mind. It is a nice idea.

An option to make the cursor emit light would be fun!

You should give them names and display the winner. I would be highly amused.
