Ray Casting 3D Maze in MS Access

[murray83]

Hi

please see my very basic demo of what I have been working on ( and no its not the splash screen lol even though I'm happy with that too )
after seeing https://davevsziggy.itch.io/dave-vs-ziggy a few years ago ( as i changed contracts but still DHL and was still on the drive when i came back after 4 years lol )

so I thought maybe could be done in access and attached is my again ( very early and very basic ) offering

Compile error with Compare database and mouse clicks/key presses seemed to do nothing.

and sorry what version of Access are you running

 

[murray83]

sorry for some what spamming but v1.1

quickly have removed the floor as was not looking good, have updated code so when move the walls change colour to give movement effect

Movement is on the

WASD Keys

Did you attempt to compile your code? There is "Option Compare Database" twice in Module1. I also get an error "Method or Data Member not found" on this line.

 Set lbl = frm.Controls.Add("Label", ctrlName, True)

This is the same OP who has trouble with adding Option Explicit and compiling his chess program.

Name Change and have updated the inital maze now as before you would design and have to change teh X Y start for user

but now picked at random

also minimap, with some fog a la games such as Command and Conquer.

Movement is on WASD

if you are making a maze follow these steps ( ill add some words on form some point )

Click your design out Red = Wall, and White = Path

once done and if not used the whole 15 * 15 then change the width and height and click save and then you can try it

happy testing

If you don't mind me asking but what is the point of this as an Access Database?

fair comment. like i said after i saw the excel FPS i thought why not try in access and just a demo/bit of fun. Maybe someone could use but for me its just fun and also shows that Access can be more

hope that answers your question

Mike, I think it just to show that Access dose not have to just process plain data?

The O/P has produced a chess game and a Wordle game.

Just another flavour to Access to explore?
