Impact

Shipped and maintained an open-source project in public with a clean repository workflow and production-oriented delivery.

This is GhostPath, a puzzle game where you navigate through an invisible maze.

Game Overview

  • Objective: Find a safe path from the top-left corner (where the ghost icon is) to the bottom-right corner.
  • Challenge: The maze walls and safe paths are invisible, so you cannot see them directly.

Game Mechanics

  • Lives: You start with 5 hearts.
  • Traps: Hidden throughout the grid. Stepping on one reveals it and costs you a life.
  • Path finding: You must carefully test squares to discover the safe route.

How to Play

  1. Start at the top-left square (highlighted in blue with the ghost).
  2. Click adjacent squares to move and explore.
  3. If you hit a trap, it becomes visible and you lose a life.
  4. Use revealed traps as clues to deduce where the safe path might be.
  5. Reach the bottom-right corner to complete the level.
