I also added some new rendering methods. Example: ,-------------------------------------------------. | | | ,-------------------. ----.--------- | | | | | | | | ----. ,----"----. `--------------: | | X | | | | | `---------' | . | ,---------. | | | | | | | | :-------------- | | | `---- | | | | | | | | :-------------------' | `--------------' | | | | | -------------------"----.-------------- | | | | | ,----.--------------. | ,----.---------: | | | | | | | | | " `---- . | | | " . | | | | | | | | | .--------------' | | `---------' | | | | | | `----"-------------------' `-------------------' Much better!!! Try to get to the X from the door, or out from the X. Currently the VRML version is get from the door to the end, but I am about to make it so you start at the inside and try to find your way out. Note: Don't download it for two days, so all my copys are bug-tested and synced. The currently downloadable version has no ascii features in it yet. Answer for simple maze following!!! Don't read if you want to know how to solve the above maze! Of course, it only take a couple seconds to solve it............. :-) . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Ok, randy, I noticed that this maze, although very nice, did not have a
start or stop point. So I took the liberty of making both for you. This
will of course, make it far more worthwhile to attempt to solve!
Try your luck on this one. See if you have what it takes to solve it!

beginning of each line, I'm putting a *)
