💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🐜🤝 At the #Weizmann Institute of Science in #Israel, researchers built #3D-printed mazes and baited loads to test how well ant teams work together.

They found bigger groups of longhorn crazy #ants solve harder #puzzles than smaller teams, and matched ants against #physics-based #simulations to figure out why.

The next one thing is just a simple tiny working on optimization in Vasya who go to his home 🏡 (the project Codeberg 🏔️ page 👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Vasya-go-to-home)

So you can download the last version of Vasya from the "Release" section 👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Vasya-go-to-home/releases/tag/v1.2.5

Or from my website 🙂. My website also always has last versions of the projects those I makes 😁

#rust #rustlang #macroquad #linux #opensource #game #games #gamedev #2d #2dgame #mazes #maze #inkscape #tiled #TiledMapEditor #AppImage #codeberg

The next one: I've add few new animations to "Vasya go to home 🏡", improved his performance, and now you can exit to the main menu when you've pressed Esc button in the game (Esc button close the game entirely before)

So you can download the executable of Vasya from here 👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Vasya-go-to-home/releases/tag/v1.2.3

Or check his source code here 👉 https://codeberg.org/xolatgames/Vasya-go-to-home

TechSpot: Classic 3D Maze screensaver from Windows 95 is now fully playable. “The original 3D Maze allowed a ‘player’ to navigate through a randomly generated maze, which impressed many users experiencing Windows 95 for the first time. Earlier this year, a programmer decided to turn the tool into a fully playable game – a task that proved surprisingly straightforward.”

Making a corn maze takes logistics, agricultural science, technology and artistry. Here's @PopularScience's story about how Tim Fitzgerald created Indiana's Exploration Acres, the advances he's seen in maze technology since he took over his family's dilapidated farm in 2008, and the challenges he faces, from rodent pressure to climate change.

i'm designing a whole cloth quilt pattern, and my idea was to put mazes in each corner section (highlighted in yellow) but ... are there any tricks for designing a maze in this kind of L-shape? I mostly have done chartes and cretan maze designs before... #mazes #labyrinth #quilting

This #Labyrinth sequel pitch from Andrew Plotkin is pretty freakin' awesome. They should make this:

Back to the Labyrinth
Friday, January 24, 2025
Tagged: #labyrinth, #davidbowie, #bowie #jenniferconnelly, #movies, #goblins, #wishes, #mazes

Look, there is only one thing I want from a Labyrinth sequel, and that's Jennifer Connelly as the Goblin Queen... Mother.

I know, it's tricky. David Bowie was this horny teenage fantasy of Magic and Freedom and Romance; he definitely wasn't a father figure. Do we need a retread of that? No.

So Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) as a single mom, frustrated with her teenage kid, and the kid is frustrated with her. The mom is busy with her job and is never home. The daughter wants to run around the back yard and play with her imaginary friends. Sarah is like "Look, I know! I was your age! The stories are important. But you have to do the laundry and make dinner too! Sorry, I have a late meeting, I have to run."

And the daughter screams "Yeah, go! I wish the goblins would come and take me away forever and ever!"

So they do. Welcome to the Labyrinth. But.

Sarah is the Goblin Queen. She always has been. That's her job. "Away at the office" is "off in the Labyrinth". Ever since Jareth disappeared, Sarah hears the wishes and Sarah cannot leave a wish ungranted. "I have done everything you've asked, turned the world upside down for you..." Only now it's her own kid, and what the teenager wants is for some Mom she doesn't know to save her from the Mom she does know, only they're the same person.

And what Mom wants is for her kid to understand that for sixteen years she has had the power to say "I wish the goblins would free me of this child" and she never said it. But now the kid has said it -- which means it has to happen.

And they're both exhausted by living up to each other's expectations.

Whatever they are to each other, it needs to change.

Sound about right?

@DrYohanJohn There is this recent review that seems very interesting from the #GenzelLab, but it’s more about the tasks themselves than task design, it seems? In any case, I agree!

The latest algorithm produces some longer passages and less dead ends which makes for some nice mazes!
