- Maze Chomp is a simple maze game adapted from a 1984 Input Magazine listing.
- The goal is to eat all the dots in the maze as quickly as possible.
- Controls include WASD keys for movement and space to continue.
- Input Magazine is structured like a course, covering various computers including the Commodore 64.
- The game uses POKE statements to set screen colors and handle player movement.
- The maze layout is defined using special C64 graphic characters, which was challenging to input.
- Player movement is tracked using memory addresses, with boundaries set by non-space and non-dot characters.
- The game tracks time and score, resetting once all dots are eaten.
- The number of dots is hardcoded, requiring updates if the maze changes.
