Here's a talk I gave this weekend at Roguelike Celebration.
Mazes: Are We Lost Yet?
It's basically half an hour of me going off on cool mazes.
- The talk in text form
- The slides, in the big layout I used for the talk. (Not actually useful for browsing, but people laughed.)
- The video is not yet posted; I will update when it's available.

@zarfeblong You shouldn't leave a big hole in the outer wall of the maze like that. Things might have gone south.

@blgl In the actual talk, I had my name and contact info in that space. Fit better with a gap.


@zarfeblong
I looked at the maze layout version of the slides and audibly snickered at “Welcome to Ultima”.
