Maze Runner Game

This code implements a Maze running game using a wired Dualsense (PS5) controller. Use the touchpad as the input. The code is rritten in Pure Python in under 100 lines. Created by Brian Lesko for Learning Purposes.

 

 

Dependencies

This code uses the following libraries:

• streamlit: for building the user interface.
• numpy: for creating arrays.
• matplotlib: for saving image data
• io: for saving image data
• hidapi: for accessing usb connections on the host device

 

Usage

Run the following commands:

pip install --upgrade streamlit hidapi matplotlib streamlit
streamlit run https://github.com/BrianLesko/maze-runner/blob/main/app.py

This will start the local Streamlit server, and you can access the chatbot by opening a web browser and navigating to http://localhost:8501.

 

How it Works

The app as follows:

1. The hidapi library is used to initiate a connection to the PS5 controller
2. The dualsense class is used to decode the received bytes
3. Scikit-learn is used to resize maze images
4. Streamlit is used to display the decoded bytes from the touchpad
5. If the touchpad pixel overlaps with a wall, you lose a life
6. If you reach the goal you make it to the next level
7. The app stops after a set number of loops
8. The user can download their artwork
