I was very young when I first saw the Commodore C64 maze generation trick using forward slash and backward slash. The characters are randomly selected and just printed one after another, the result is a maze-like pattern.

Such a maze is probably not a real maze, not solvable always (I don't know). But it was mind-boggling back then, and still is.

There's a video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ym2nimY1hs0

There's a whole book devoted to that, titled "10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1));:GOTO 10"
Nice, it's a free download too. Thanks!
