+ <_description> -This is the ancient X maze demo, modified to work with xscreensaver. -It generates a random maze, then solves it with visual feedback. -Originally by Jim Randell; modified by a cast of thousands. +This generates random mazes, with three different algorithms: Kruskal, +Prim, and a depth-first recursive backtracker. It also solves them. +Backtracking and look-ahead paths are displayed in different colors. + +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_generation_algorithm +http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_solving_algorithm + +Written by Martin Weiss, Dave Lemke, Jim Randell, Jamie Zawinski, +Johannes Keukelaar, and Zack Weinberg; 1985.
