• Controls: On-screen joystick support for mobile/touch devices
• 3D Environment: Immersive maze environments with textures and visual assets
• Camera System: Smooth camera controls for better navigation through mazes
• UI Management: Main menu, level selection, pause menu, and level completion screens
• Fantasy Art Style: Utilizes low-poly fantasy asset packs for a stylized visual appearance

How to Clone and Run

Prerequisites

• Unity (2020.3 or later recommended developed version 6000.0.37f1)
• Git for version control
• Minimum 5GB disk space for project + dependencies

Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/yourusername/aMaze.git
cd aMaze
cd "My project"

Open in Unity

1. Launch Unity Hub
2. Click "Add project from disk"
3. Navigate to d:\unity\aMaze project\My project
4. Select the folder and click "Open
5. Wait for Unity to import all assets (this may take 5-10 minutes on first load)

Run the Game

In the Editor:

1. Open the main scene: Assets/Scenes/mainpage.unity
2. Press the Play button (or press Ctrl+P)
3. Navigate through the menu to select a difficulty level

Build for Mobile (Android/iOS):

1. Switch platform in Build Settings to Android
2. Add scenes as described above
3. Configure Player Settings for mobile (resolution, orientation, etc.)
4. Click Build & Run

Joystick Controls (Mobile/Touch)

• On-screen joystick - Move the character in any direction
• Requires touch input to operate

Gameplay

1. Main Menu - Select your difficulty level
2. Level 1 - Introduction to maze mechanics
3. Level 2 - Intermediate difficulty with more complex paths
4. Level 3 - Hard difficulty with challenging maze design
5. Objective - Navigate from the start to the exit of each maze
6. Completion - Complete all three levels to finish the game

Level Difficulty

• Level 1 (Easy) - Simple maze layout, good for learning controls
• Level 2 (Medium) - More turns and dead ends, increased challenge
• Level 3 (Hard) - Complex maze with multiple paths and confusing layouts

Troubleshooting

Import errors on first load:

• Delete the Library/ and obj/ folders
• Reopen project - Unity will reimport everything

Missing assets:

• Ensure all asset packages are properly imported
• Check that TextMesh Pro is installed (comes with Unity by default)

Performance issues:

• Reduce draw calls by adjusting shadow quality in graphics settings
• Check that low-poly assets are being used instead of high-poly alternatives

Contributing
