Maze Styles
Classic:
- Standard maze with one path from start to finish
- Perfect for traditional maze solving
- Balanced difficulty level
Dense:
- More open paths and connections
- Easier to solve with multiple routes
- Good for beginners or quick puzzles
Sparse:
- Fewer open paths and more walls
- More challenging with limited routes
- Perfect for advanced puzzle solvers
Customization Options
Dimensions:
- Width: 5-50 cells (horizontal size)
- Height: 5-50 cells (vertical size)
- Larger mazes are more challenging
Visual Settings:
- Line Width: 1-8 pixels (thickness of walls)
- Color: Choose any color for the maze walls
- Green square = Start point
- Red square = End point
Common Use Cases

Maze Generation Algorithm
This tool uses a recursive backtracking algorithm to generate mazes:
- Starts with a grid of cells, each surrounded by walls
- Randomly selects a starting cell and marks it as visited
- Randomly chooses an unvisited neighboring cell
- Removes the wall between the current and chosen cell
- Repeats until all cells are visited
- Applies style modifications (dense/sparse) for variety
Tips for Best Results
- Start with smaller mazes (10x10) to test settings
- Use contrasting colors for better visibility
- Adjust line width based on maze size
- Try different styles to find your preferred difficulty
- Save your favorite configurations for reuse
Output Formats

Important Notes
- All maze generation is done locally in your browser
- No data is sent to external servers
- Mazes are generated using random algorithms
- Each generation creates a unique maze
- Large mazes may take longer to generate
