Because I am HORRIBLE at graphics, I'm going to make a game that requires no real graphics at all: A maze game. Yes, it requires a few graphics, but they're not that hard to make. SO...

I'm going to release a game that has 1000 mazes in it. Yep. That's what I'll do. =]

The mazes in game WILL be hardcoded, however a Random Maze Generator as well as a Custom Maze Generator will be available (At the very least the demo will have a Maze Editor/Creator available)...

Thats what I though. Why not just stick them in files outside the game? Much easier...
Plus 1000 mazes is alot..

Punch, you don't need to hardcode things in Game Maker...plus I'm not using GM for this project anyway, I'm using Delphi. But good try at making me sound bad Anyway, Level readers are easy to make and I can make a generator that generates 1000 random mazes and just claim that they're hardcoded anyway. Go Me
