Each dungeon consists of 100 rooms (4 floors, 5x5 rooms each), though some rooms may be unreachable. There is ALWAYS an exit; often more than one.

CODE
Around 950 blocks of code.

IMAGES
Dungeon floor and ladders were made by me using Scratch's vector editor. Characters and arrows are from Scratch's image library.

MULTI-PLAYER LIMITATIONS
Every player is assigned a fixed avatar, based on their username. There are only 8 different avatars. Players with the same avatar are invisible to each other. When there are two or more players in the game with the same avatar, then ONLY the one who last made a move, is visible to other players.

MAZE LIMITATIONS
Difficulty varies wildly; some dungeons are trivial (just climb straight up), others may take a minute of wandering around.
Maze layouts repeat every 8192 dungeons. I suppose it will be rare for somebody to notice while playing. If you do, then please consider this a second (third, fourth...) chance to visit the dungeons that were solved by others while you were not around.

HISTORY
Remake of a simple multi-floor maze game I wrote in BASIC on my Sharp MZ-700 around 1984/1985.
