A simple maze game for the XO laptop. You can play by yourself or race to solve it with your buddies.

Instructions
How to install
Download this .xo file from the Browse activity: Maze-2.xo
How to play
Use the arrow keys to move yourself around the maze. Try to find your way to the green goal in the lower right corner of the maze. Each time you press a key, you will automatically move until there is a branch in the maze. Press the + or - keys to make the maze larger or smaller. If you share the Maze activity with your friends on the network then all of you can play on the same maze at the same time. Each player appears with their normal XO colors. Try to race to the goal.
How to develop
Maze is a standard python activity that uses olpcgames and pygame for graphics and events.
Testing (Yes)
Maze v2 has been tested on build 649 under emulation only. If you have an actual laptop I would very much like to know if the game pad keys work and how it behaves when the screen is rotated.

Thanks for this game. It's a fun game my 4yo loves to play. As for the requested feedback, the game does not respond to the touchpad arrows. Rotation is somewhat interesting. Once rotated 90 or 180 degrees, the screen goes gray until you -/+ the maze. It does this each time the screen is rotated. The game does not resize or scroll and is therefor not playable at 90 degrees (non-landscape).When rotated 180 degrees, the arrows work in opposite direction; up is down, down is up, left is right, right is left. I'm not sure what's going on with the 90 degree rotation. Seems to move irregularly. My daughter is playing right now, so I can test a bit more later.
