Photon Maze is an interactive web-based game that explores logic, light, and spatial problem-solving through play. Players guide a beam of light through a maze, experimenting with direction, reflection, and constraints to reach a target.
The project combines concepts from computer science and mathematics, including depth-first search (DFS) for maze generation and trigonometric functions for controlling light behavior. Built with modular JavaScript systems, the game emphasizes clarity of interaction and visible cause-and-effect.
Photon Maze was developed as a challenging integration of programming, algorithms, mathematics, and web design, turning abstract ideas into a playful and interactive experience.
