										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>This software creates mazes of different sizes and configurable appearance. It is designed for teachers and makers. It can save the output as printable sheets or bitmap images.</p>
<p>[updated terms]</p>
<ul>
<li>This software is provided free to use for all commercial / non-commercial / educational, puzzle publication purposes.</li>
<li>The code is licensed under the MIT licence</li>
<li>see <a href="https://github.com/busyDuckman/MazeMaker">https://github.com/busyDuckman/MazeMaker</a></li>
</ul>
<p>[how to show appreciation]</p>
<ul>
<li>I super appreciate getting some credit for the work, especially if you are printing a book of puzzles. Something like &#8220;puzzles created using Maze Maker software, by Dr Warren Creemers&#8221;.</li>
<li>If you make something cool with it, I would love to see a photo/link.</li>
<li>If you make a kids book or something like that, I&#8217;d really get a kick out of getting a free copy. Gestures like that make my day <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/13.1.0/72x72/1f642.png" alt="🙂" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></li>
</ul>

<h3>Examples of different types of output</h3>
<p><img loading="lazy" class="alignnone wp-image-480 size-full" src="/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/output_examples1.png" alt="Example Maze" width="640" height="640" srcset="/wp-content/uploads/2015/07/output_examples1.png 640w, /wp-content/uploads/2015/07/output_examples1-300x300.png 300w, /wp-content/uploads/2015/07/output_examples1-150x150.png 150w" sizes="(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px" /></p>
<p>Can it do large mazes, like really large mazes?&#8230; <a href="http://www.busyducks.com/Software/_relevant_downloads/big_maze.png" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">YES</a>.</p>

<h3>Limitations:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Beta software (minor bugs to iron out, but quite usable)</li>
<li>Smooth edges when wall width is set to 1 are buggy.</li>

</ul>
<h3>What is done:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Generates a valid maze.</li>
<li>Appearance is configurable.</li>
<li>Maze size is configurable.</li>
<li>Printing is enabled (adjust blockSize to alter print output size)</li>

<li>Support for DPI / block size.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Next Release</h3>
<ul>
<li>Bug fixes</li>
<li>Support for graphical inserts</li>
<li>Ascii output</li>
</ul>
<h3>Road Map</h3>
