Show HN: I Recreated Encarta's MindMaze (opens in new tab)

Nice job. As a fellow edutainment game dev, some feedback:

Number 1: As a result of using Gen AI, some of the pictures don’t make sense. In one of the images I saw, you’re looking into the room at an angle, but the directions are still orthogonal (north, east, west, south) so it doesn’t really line up. I don’t know if you want to add some kind of mini-map to help show where you’re going, but right now there isn’t a strong sense of spatial continuity or thematic consistency.

Number 2: I don’t know a lot about the original Mind Maze, but the trivia/logic questions really shouldn’t appear every single time you make a single move.

Think of it like this. If you played a first-person dungeon crawler or an RPG where every time you moved a single square you were forced into another random encounter, it would get tedious very quickly. I’d recommend diversifying the encounters so the experience a little less repetitive.

In the article I have also talked about a different game as well that teaches players how chips work. I have added that here too: https://select.supply/game/chipbuilder.

Chip Builder is a brilliant concept for teaching low-level logic. How did you handle the gate simulations? Is it a custom engine or are you using something like a logic circuit library under the hood?

Oh what a blast from the past!!

The game looks awesome but I think it's missing some memory challenges, like recognizing the a song for example. Consider adding those as well.

this is great!
