3D Simulation of passing through the maze.
Number of various 3D mazes 3D Maze ScreenSaver can generate is practically infinite.
This extraordinary screen saver - from the aspect of programmer’s solutions to the aspect of graphics and great openness for user’s customization extended to total transformation - takes breath away even to the most sophisticated screen savers fans.
Developer of this amazing screen saver has invested special efforts to meet expectations of modern sophisticated users’ even of the most demanding ones.
It can be said that 3D Maze ScreenSaver is 100% customizable - because it allows the user to change it completely (for example, it can become 3D maze in a spaceship, royal palace, Egyptian pyramid… or to become some abstract 3D maze…).
1. About
This extraordinary screen saver - from the aspect of programmer’s solutions to the aspect of graphics and great openness for user’s customization extended to total transformation – takes breath away even to the most sophisticated screen savers fans.
Whenever restarted this greatly customizable screen saver - unnoticeably to the user - generates a completely new 3D maze and finds the solution (a right way to the exit) using a special algorithm. This is followed by display of 3D simulation of the passing through the maze.
Number of various 3D mazes 3D Maze ScreenSaver can generate is practically infinite.
By default, after each 3D simulation of passing through the maze, 2D drawing (a top view) of the maze with the solution is shown, i.e. a path via which the passing is performed.
Developer of this amazing screen saver has invested special efforts to meet expectations of modern sophisticated users’ even of the most demanding ones.
It can be said that 3D Maze ScreenSaver is 100% customizable - because it allows the user to change it completely (for example, it can become 3D maze in a spaceship, royal palace, Egyptian pyramid… or to become some abstract 3D maze …).
2. Settings
3D Maze ScreenSaver can have infinite number of various appearances.
User is allowed to change completely the screen saver graphics.
User can enable or disable sound.
It is also possible to select folder with music (or with some other audio content, of course) from which 3D ScreenSaver is to load and play songs one after another.
2.1 Graphics Settings
Developer of 3D Maze ScreenSaver has carefully created graphics to make this screen saver one of the best available.
Developer has enabled settings of 3D maze outer walls, inner walls, floor, and ceiling.
In this version of the screen saver, developer has provided five options for each of the abovementioned interior elements (that allows 900 combinations predefined interiors). Furthermore, after installation you can find thirteen additional maps in the Additional Maps folder.
3D Maze ScreenSaver offers much more! Express your own creativity.
This screen saver is extraordinary due to the possibility of the user to import his own graphics solution for elements of the maze interior (simply, as *.bmp files) – which, from the aspect of graphics, makes it completely open.
3D Maze ScreenSaver goes even further!
Regardless of whether user’s or predefined graphics is set, 3D Maze ScreenSaver also offers colorization possibility, i.e. changes of general/ambiental color. The user can choose Random option and screen saver will select one of 16 predefined colors randomly every time when it restarts.
3D Maze ScreenSaver offers even more:
The user provided with unlimited possibility to set colorize color using Windows color palette (4.3x10exp9 of possible nuances). According to the user’s preference, color intensity can be in a wide range from strong to subtle (recommended) nuances.
2.2. Sound Settings
As modern one, 3D Maze ScreenSaver has possibility to play sound.
Due to installation file size economy, 3D Maze ScreenSaver comes just with one instrumental composition (a variation of famous song, “Night Life“) in total duration of 65 seconds.
In its good style, 3D Maze ScreenSaver provides the user with possibility to set custom folder with (his/her favorite) music. Three standard formats: *.wav, *.mid, *.mp3 are supported as the most often used ones.
3D Maze ScreenSaver plays one after another: all *.wav files, firstly - all *.mid, after that - and finally, all *.mp3 files.
Of course, the user can disable sound if wants.
2.3. Other Settings
By default, after displaying of 3D simulation of passing through the maze (that is before new maze generation) 3D Maze ScreenSaver shows 2D drawing of the maze along with solution path in 2D (top-view).
The user has possibility to enable or disable display of abovementioned 2D drawing.
