How To Use

A very simple tool for making Mazes, which can be saved, printed and even tried without having to print out.

On the first screen click on either the "First Time Here" button or "I Know What To Do". The "First Time Here" button takes you to the same place but with hint Windows to help get you started.

On the main screen you will see a grid of squares. With the mouse pointer over any square, a single left mouse click will produce a green Hedge in that square. Without clicking you can create a Treasure square at the place where the mouse pointer is by pressing the letter T on your keyboard. Similarly by pressing the letter E you will place an Entry point square on your grid. A single right click of the mouse anywhere on the grid, will produce a blank white square, which should only be needed if you have to correct a green Hedge, Treasure or Entry square.The Top Menu

File: Selecting File in the Top Menu will produce the following Menu items:

New maze - Will restart the program,
Open - Pops up an Open file window, where you can click on a file name and then click on Open. Double clicking the file name has the same effect. Once the saved maze has opened you will be able to alter it by clicking with the mouse as above. To try an opened maze, select Try maze (see below) in the top menu under Options.
Save - Will produce a save window where you need to enter a name for your file and click on Save. When typing a name for your file there is no need to worry about adding any file extensions like .bmp, .txt etc., just a name you can remember is all that's needed.
Quit - Exits the game. If you have made any changes you will be reminded to save them first if you wish, before being able to exit.

Options: Selecting Options in the Top Menu will produce the following Menu items:

Print maze - Prints out what you currently see on the screen.
Try maze - Will produce a coloured pencil which replaces the mouse pointer. Left clicking the mouse will enable you to draw with the pencil by holding down the mouse button and dragging the pencil across the page. Release the mouse button to stop. Right clicking the mouse button will produce other coloured pencils on the left of your screen. Choose one of these colours by left mouse clicking on your choice of pencil.
