Retro terminal-based 3D adventure written in Go that actually renders a maze using pure text characters and ASCII block pixels, runs as a terminal-based 3D view, is grid and turn based so movement is one-square/90° only, and uses an 11x9 grid projection with only 13 panels to cover every view. Code lives on GitHub, uses Go build tags for Windows vs Unix, and is playable as delivered.
