Win95Maze brings the classic Windows 95/98 3D Maze screensaver into World of Warcraft as a fullscreen UI addon.

It recreates the old-school maze look with chunky pixel textures, right-wall-following camera movement, start and finish markers, OpenGL billboards, picture walls, animated pattern walls, rotating wireframe-style objects, and a scuttling rat wandering through the maze.

Main Features

Classic Windows 95/98 3D Maze feel
A nostalgic software-raycasted maze rendered directly inside the WoW UI.
Automatic screensaver mode
Can start when you go AFK or after a configurable period of inactivity.
Stops when you return
Mouse movement, clicks, keyboard input, movement, or other activity will dismiss the maze.
Windows-style options panel
Open a retro Display Properties-inspired settings window to configure AFK activation, inactivity activation, and wait time.
Generated mazes
Each run builds a new 10x10 maze with randomized objects, walls, decorations, and paths.
Performance-conscious rendering
Uses pre-created texture pools and a configurable render throttle so the animation runs without constantly creating new UI objects.

Useful Slash Commands

/maze
Start or stop the maze manually.

/maze off
Stop the maze immediately.

/ss
Open the screensaver options panel.

/screensaver
Also opens the options panel.

/maze reset
Generate a fresh maze while the screensaver is running.

/maze fps 10-30
Set the render throttle. Lower values may reduce load; higher values make the animation smoother.

Notes

The addon is purely visual. It does not alter gameplay, combat, rotations, keybinds, nameplates, unit frames, or character controls. It is a nostalgic idle/AFK screensaver for players who want a bit of Windows 95 weirdness inside Azeroth.
