How to play

• Try to find your way through a gigantic maze!
• Move the yellow dot from the upper-left corner to the lower-right corner using the WASD keys.
• To quit the game before completing the maze click the return button and the correct path will appear.

Algorithms

Maze generation

The maze is generated using an optimized prim algorithm, therefore it is always solvable.

Solving

Solving the maze is done using dead-end filling.

Random numbers generation

Done using the Blum Blum Shub algorithm.

Limitations

Requires 2 different relatively big prime numbers whose multiplication is smaller than the board array size, resulting in 861 different generatable mazes.

Enjoy!
