Dynamic 3D with CSS and the DOM Brothercake describes how to generate 3D mazes using nothing but CSS, the DOM and cunning. If you're not interested in the explanation, jump right to the example.
Now he just needs to bung in a dinosaur and we'll have 3D Monster Maze 2006.

The ones like this I've seen used <canvas>: Mozilla sample raycasting engine and Canvascape. There's also people working on a proper 3D canvas API.

That's pretty cool, though the lack of cross-brower support puts a big dent in the coolness.

I had no idea there was a <canvas> tag. Crazy.
That demo sucked via it's non realtimeyness.
But seriously that canvas tag is probably the most awsome thing to happen to web design since flash. hell, who even needs flash now!?

with a little math and some judicious JavaScript
You'd think that I would've learned years ago to flee any document containing this phrase.
Neat.

Cool, but totally fails in IE.
No, IE totally fails support for the DOM and CSS.
