Working as a "riddler" making puzzles of all kinds for newspapers, magazines, and books, I'm always on a hunt for new kinds of puzzles. And, believe me, it's plenty of them and loved by millions of people every day, so it's not easy to stay fresh all the time, having to make at least one puzzle a day, 365 day's a year, for my puzzles are so popular that I have to work 7 days a week, sic or not sic. Not been easy the last couple of years been so sic, but hi, one's got to work for a living like it or not :(
On one of my "hunt" on the web, I stumbled upon a Maze type called "Find the way," a type that has not interested me before, but then I thought, "Hi, way not try to make a maze like that in Minecraft?" (It's the kind of ide you get when you're sick and it Xmas holiday ;) )
But I have never made a "Find your way" maze puzzle before, so I found one made by one of the most popular author of this kind of puzzles and asked him if I got his permission to remake one of his puzzle in Minecraft, a puzzle that nota bene he offers free for all to dowlode from his website, but of cos only for personal use.
He considered this a personal use and was really interested in how it would turn out. I'm got no plan to sell this picture to any magazine or publish it in a book, and I ask you the same if any of you are a puzzle maker for a living. This is only for personal use. You can print it out for your self if solving if the picture onscreen is to small for you to solve the puzzle.
And if you want to try to solve the puzzles, you are supposed to start at the top building and working your way down the stairs to the house at the bottom. You may only follow paths and use stars but newer jump between paths.
Good luck :) It's not so hard, but not the easiest one ether, somewhere in the middle. But I have found out that those that love this kind of puzzles are usually not looking for the hard-to-solve one, usually the best or funniest pictures.
It's different in Minecraft and I think mush more interesting and now I'm "spending" precious time that I should be working for money in Minecraft plus learning to make "Find the way" puzzles. I'm not going to tell you how many hours it took to make it in Minecraft, but let's just say that if it had been a job for a client, I would only have got a few cents per hour ;)
