This page reflects my fascination with generating mazes by computer. The standard square based maze is quite simple but the "number" maze is a lot more complicated. See if you can draw out it's structure for more than a few steps in any direction.

This draws a number of different mazes based on regular tessellations. There are three basic types based on squares, hexagons and the tessellation of octagons and squares. The picture on the left shows an octagonal based maze. |

This is a large square maze, which starts off hidden. As you explore the hidden bits are revealed. The exit is in the bottom right corner.. This is still in process of development, future versions may have wandering monsters for you to dodge etc. |

This always draws the same maze. It uses a mathematical relationship (described on the 3x+1 pages) to tie the first 4 million or so integers into a network that locally looks like it's based on a square grid but globally is much more complicated. The best way to play it is to think of a number (less than 4 million) and see if you can find it. |
