Hide-n-Seek (The Game of Life)

Although this may not be a typical "game," I wanted to focus on the game-like aspects to life, faith, and so on. The religious structures aren't meant to be particularly representational (after all, a Gothic Mosque is questionable at best). 

I also wanted to try a moonlit scene, and to create some nice cloudscapes.

Files (included in hide-n-seek.tar.gz):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
hide-n-seek.pov		Main scene file
mountain.pov		The scene file used to generate the mountain
				height field source.
mountain.tga		500x200 .tga POV output from mountain.pov
stonemod.inc		A subset of Mike Miller's outstanding stone texture
				collection, modified to have a higher ambient
				value (to simulate moonlit luminence).
maz4.tga		320x333 .tga maze picture to use in the height_field.
				Originally, this was a real, solvable maze,
				but for various reasons, it devolved into this.

	     but the sysadmin has disabled all diagnostic and reporting
