a maze-game stack?

Hi Nicolas,

I had a hard time keeping me from posting that there´ll be something to 
help soon. :-)

Perfectly doable within Rev. You have many options there. You could 
make up the maze either from graphic objects or draw a few wall pieces 
in a graphics editor, import them and make up a map from buttons using 
the pieces as an icon. How would you like to create the maze? Randomly 
(a bit hard) or from a set of template mazes?

A perfect job for ArcadeEngine.

If you need any assistance creating the game, we could discuss this in 
the ArcadeEngine Forum

or on list if the others do not mind.

Cheers,
