Today we have a new maze generator to review. I think you are going to like this one because it has so much more functionality than most I have seen online.
I will be using the same format I have used for my review of the top maze generators and am adding this review to the main blog post. If you are not familiar with that post I will look at what shapes of maze are available, the cell types, size, choices to start and end the maze, is the solution given and can you download it. Let’s get to the sitereview.
CODEBOX
Shapes: 4+ : Square, Circle, Triangular Grid, Hexagonal Grid. While there are 4 main types you can also create an infinite number of shapes using the mask feature !!
Cell types: 3: Square, Hexagons, Triangles
Width and Height: 2 - 50 for squares and hexagons, Triangles from 4-85 width to 2-50 height, and circles can have 30 layers
Start/end: 4 choices: None, Top to Bottom, Left to Right, Hardest entrance/exit
Solution generated: Yes
Downloads available: Yes, as an SVG file.
What this site does best: Of all the sites I reviewed this is one of only 2 sites with Circular maze generation. It is also the site with the most flexibility in creating shapes. You can create a distance map that shows how far the point is from the entrance. The generator offers a choice of 10 different algorithms to generate the maze. You can also solve these mazes on screen using your mouse and keyboard. You can also choose to watch the maze generate !
Examples: Starting in the top left corner a simple 20x20 maze, a hexagonal grid maze, a circular maze, and a shape I made myself using the mask feature. I also suggest you check out the examples given on the site.
Finally here is a look at an example of a distance map. From the bottom entrance in green to the top exit in red (generally).
I couldn’t resist making a “do you” maze using the mask feature.
This is an excellent website for generating mazes. I recommend it.
