Story:
The long awaited (and soon-to-be widely
acclaimed!) 3D2D1D dungeon is now available
at:
webpages.charter.net/pstevens1
This is **NOT** a game. It is a difficult puzzle
that will require pencil, paper, and hard work.
It demonstrates the 'Encrypt'
facility of CSBuild and provides an example
of a machine-generated puzzle. The 2-D maze
was randomly machine-generated. I chose
one from among several dozen that the computer
produced; all difficult but this one more
difficult than the rest.
You will find (that is probably a bit optimistic)
the ending unique...whether to your liking or not.
I will be surprised if more than one person
manages to finish it. But it is logical. It is
possible to figure it out without recourse to
'Luck'. For example, it took me about three hours
to solve the 1-D puzzle, assuming that I knew
nothing to start with and did not possess any of
the items that would have been helpful. I finished
with a page of rather complex-looking (but
really very simple) diagrams. I probably could
have finished more quickly by running around at
random but I wanted to be sure it was really
'solvable'. Good Luck.
The dungeon incorporates several features
suggested by PitD. Thanks.
