The Terribly Accessible Dungeon of Doom
Welcome to James Edwards Terribly Accessible Dungeon of Doom, a fully accessible 3D Maze written in JavaScript. Yes, that's right JavaScript.
(You can navigate using the buttons underneath the maze, or using the arrow keys. For the arrow keys to work you must first set focus in the dungeon iframe, either by clicking or tabbing into it.)
