    Maze generation algo

    Stumbled upon this last night.

    We get a lot of questions about how to generate mazes. This site has a very good algo on it.

    I will provide code for this and attach it here later.

    Here is the algo:

    It's an interesting article, and quite advanced. Which leads me to believe anyone who needs such an article will be just as satisfied with the one at

    www.gametutorials.com

    that is, unless there is a rather large dos newb project going all the way

    Still, worth saving.

    The algo has nothing to do with DOS. I coded it last night and it works great. And it is not advanced at all; it is quite simple.

    Will post some DirectX code here in a bit.

    Thanks for the link... I decided to write a simple raycaster for kicks-and-giggles and this is quite useful.
