Generative Mazes

Mazes have always fasincated me. They can be generated via some simple rules and take beautiful, myriad forms.

Maze generator using the <table> element

Maze generator toy that draws mazes with tables and CSS-borders instead of canvas: runs in IE and also quite well on the Kindle experimental browser.

Uses the basic recursive backtracker algorithm to carve a maze out of untouched cells in the grid. Also implemented in mazegen.html is a basic editor to create a logo array: mark cells as visited before the maze carving begins- the logo will remain unmolested as the carving proceeds.

maze.html       A single carver maze.
mazegen.html    4 carver maze.
steve.html      For my friend Steve Pearce's 25th birthday. :)
