When development of the originally requested functionality for code, packages, and projects has been completed I usually try to think of what the next logical addons, functionality, or extras to create could be to improve and expand on the originally requested content. This is also the case with the VR Maze project. After I finished developing the requested functionality, I saw a lot of potential in an expanded and modular version of some of the framework elements created for that project.

So, I started developing the package I have been calling the PathFinderMaze package. With this package I can create a maze layout using a normal Excel spreadsheet, export that spreadsheet as a text file, import the text file into Unity. From there this package allows me to click a single button to automatically generate an entire ready to play VR maze complete with collectable maze markers, menus, and designated start/end tiles.

This blog post covers the development steps I took while developing this package.
