Randomly generated maze map with players

Evasion

HackTX project

Think you have what it takes to beat Evasion? Sync your phones to the Evasion server to outfox your friends in an all-out multiplayer BATTLE - ROYALE! In a style reminiscent of the popular maze game Labyrinth, play as the EVADER to outmaneuver your adversaries as they navigate through the maze, or take upon the role of the CHASER and work together to nab the elusive EVADERS before time runs out.

GAMEPLAY

Sync phones to the server to start the game! The CHASERS are placed near the center. Everyone else will assume the role of EVADERS. The goal of the EVADER is to evade capture of all enemies with last-man standing, while the goal of the CATCHERS is to capture the EVADERS. When the CHASERS reach a EVADER, the EVADER turns into one of the CHASERS until there is only one EVADER left. Players move around by tilting their phones in the direction they want to move. Aiding the EVADERS will be several hidden passageways through walls that only EVADERS can traverse.

I worked on designing the randomized-maze generation based on Kruskal's Algorithm, handling the server side code involving player accelerations and velocities, and created the algorithm for player spawns and role-assignment.
