Project Reindeer

A simple project I made to try out 3D Godot. Load the default maze or create your own and see how the reindeer navigates the maze in real time!

The algorithm used is an alternate version of my solution (~A*) for Day 16 (aka Reindeer Maze) of Advent of Code 2024 modified to communicate with the game engine Godot. By default, moving one square has a cost of 1, while turning 90 degrees (clockwise or counter-clockwise) has a cost of 1000 (though this can be changed in the advanced settings).

Use WASD to move, and Spacebar and Left Control to ascend/descend. Toggle sprinting with Left Shift, and toggle player model visibility with H and light with L. All controls can be rebound.

Project Reindeer is based on Day 16 (aka Reindeer Maze) of Advent of Code 2024 by Eric Wastl.

This project can also be found on GitHub!

Note: The Windows and MacOS builds are experimental. They are not thoroughly tested and may or may not work properly. There should be basic support for Joypads/Controllers as well, but the game is tested with keyboard and mouse in mind.
