Features of ASCII Maze Generator

  • Multiple Maze Shapes: Choose from a variety of unique maze shapes including squares, right triangles, diamonds, plus signs, boxes, equilateral triangles, and L-shapes. Each shape offers a distinct challenge and aesthetic.
  • Customizable Dimensions: Adjust the width and height of your maze with intuitive sliders. Create anything from compact puzzles to sprawling labyrinths, with dimensions ranging from 11x11 to 101x101.
  • Dynamic Rendering Themes: Bring your mazes to life with various visual styles, including classic ASCII, box-drawing characters, advanced ASCII with custom symbols, letter-based designs, or binary. Each theme offers a unique aesthetic for different preferences or use cases.
  • Flexible Entrance and Exit Placement: Configure the starting (S) and ending (E) points of your maze:
    • Diagonal, horizontal, or vertical alignment.
    • Randomized positions or longest path placement for added variety.
  • Algorithm Selection: Generate mazes with your choice of algorithm:
    • Depth-First Search (DFS): For intricate and twisted paths.
    • Prim’s Algorithm: Produces balanced mazes with shorter dead ends.
    • Wilson’s Algorithm: Ensures uniformity with loop-erased random walks.
    • Sidewinder Algorithm: Right-biased mazes for a unique layout.
    • Path Solutions: Highlight the shortest path from start to end with a toggle feature. Perfect for solving or understanding maze complexity.
  • Error Handling: Automatically regenerates solvable mazes if initial attempts fail, ensuring a valid result every time.
  • Intuitive Controls: Use dropdowns and sliders for easy customization of shape, size, algorithm, and theme. No coding required—just click and generate.
  • Lightweight and Fast: Runs entirely in your browser with no dependencies. Instant maze generation and rendering for seamless interaction.
  • ASCII Art Output: Export your maze as text to integrate into websites, documents, or coding projects. Combine functionality with creativity!
