Creating mazes with umaze is simple.
You have two options:
- (1) Create a new maze or
- (2) Modify an existing maze
CREATE A NEW MAZE
After you have downloaded umaze app
- Click on “create maze”.
- Specify that you are building a new maze.
- Give a name to your maze.
- Define the perimeter where your maze will be located, by specifying at least 4 corners. (ideally walk outside; then you know where the maze is located)
- Indicate all the obstacles that might be present inside the area of the maze. The categories we have are: trees, bushes, stones, water and human made.
- Specify the number of entrances to the maze.
- Next you have to define the level of difficulty of the maze (medium and hard levels should be used only with Galileo-enabled phones)
- Save the maze and it is ready to be played.
The following video shows the 8 steps we just listed.
