1. Add the following declaration to the
Fieldsregion of theCubeclass:private Random rand = new Random();
2. Replace the current
PositionCube()method in theCubeclass with the following:public void PositionCube(Vector3 playerLocation, float minDistance) { Vector3 newLocation; do { newLocation = new Vector3( rand.Next(0, Maze.mazeWidth) + 0.5f, 0.5f, rand.Next(0, Maze.mazeHeight) + 0.5f); } while ( Vector3.Distance(playerLocation, newLocation) < minDistance); location = newLocation; }3. In the
Draw()method of theMazeclass, add the following to the top of the method to make sure we have the correct current settings for our effect, now that we are also using textures:effect.TextureEnabled = false;
4. In the
Draw()method of theCubeChaserGameclass, uncomment the line that draws the maze by removing the two slashes (//) from the front of the line.5. Execute...
