[how to show appreciation]

I super appreciate getting some credit for the work, especially if you are printing a book of puzzles. Something like “puzzles created using Maze Maker software, by Dr Warren Creemers”.
If you make something cool with it, I would love to see a photo/link.
If you make a kids book or something like that, I’d really get a kick out of getting a free copy. Gestures like that make my day 🙂

Can it do large mazes, like really large mazes?… YES.

Beta software (minor bugs to iron out, but quite usable)
Smooth edges when wall width is set to 1 are buggy.
Even line widths produce a better output.

Generates a valid maze.
Appearance is configurable.
Maze size is configurable.

Zooming in, moving etc (few minor bugs still).

Road Map

Will probably combine this with other software I have written to create a puzzle creation suite.

Update:

I have tentatively started working (April 2019) on a online version of this software, to be open sourced.
