Ahhh, holes in the map... Never knew there was a slang term for them... Yeah, dealt with my fair share of those.

They got even harder once Quake came along and it was actually 3D... Instead of outlining a room, had to surround it with actual walls and make sure there were no gaps that'd screw up Vis.

Sigh... The good ol' days... Back when those of us with no artistic talent could still make cool things alone...

Magic markers ? Oh, please, this is a _thesis_ we are talking about.

Making games out of either is probably a bad move: Pythons will squeeze to death any player who tries to get through, and you can only make a 3D maze out of Java | [Coffee]

if you freeze it. Which has two problems:
1) It will melt, and a puddle isn't that difficult to navigate.
2) It will ruin the Java | [Coffee]

and that is a capital offence.

That is like asking if you should use wood or concrete to build a house for scientific purposes. I mean: Without context, without any more requirements, it is kind of complicated to answer...

Are those the two languages that you are familiar with?
Is that why you are asking the choice between those two?

Minecraft is written in JAVA, so for a fairly simple maze game you should have no problem developing with JAVA.

As others have said, if you provide more context it could be easier to help you select the best tool.

Hi,
i updated the first post with additional info.

I initially didn't want to bloat up the thread with too much information but here it is.

Just a programmer.

Was standing at the bus stop the other day, when I noticed it was about to chuck it down. Luckily I noticed some branches of a tree overhanging a wall giving just enough shelter for one. So I stood there in anticipation and sure enough 5 minutes later it did rain. It was at that exact point,when I was so smug with myself looking at the other people in the queue getting drenched when the bird shat on my shoulder.

Now all proverbs are codswallop except "Pride comes before a fall", the bloke who said that first knew what he was talking about.

Nope. I would have thanked the bird for pooping on me, and asked for another. Therefore, no punishement for the pride. Big Grin | :-D
