love the frenglish in this (and i say that as someone who lives abroad and has a shitty accent, not in mockery). one thing not mentioned is that if you do a flood fill once the maze is generated, recording distances, you can choose start and end points to be maximally separated (assuming you have no other restrictions on start and end). which tends to help give an "interesting" puzzle. i wasted a month of my phd generating mazes for the son of a collaborator, in fortran 66, on a microvax. good times :o) the idea was to save the collaborator from having to hand-draw the mazes his son was pestering him for. but the poor child burst into tears when given one of my computer-generated multi-million cell constructions :o( |
