/* A FPS without shooting. Traverse a maze. 
   Features:
      * maze read in from separately generated maze plan text file
            -- uses a MazeManager object
      * textured floor, blocks and columns
      * background is a textured sphere
      * little lighting, viewer has a spotlight
      * forward- and backward- facing cameras
      * bird's eye view diagram
      * Swing GUI with three JPanels showing multiple views
      * MazeManager creates 3D and 2D representations of the maze
      * collision detection of maze walls
      * keyboard control of movement, with updates to all views
