Maze Generator Example - (Ported code).

(Click on the applet to create new maze)

I ported the code from another language. I think there might be bugs since I think I have seen mazes that have errors in them. I still have to spend more time studying this.

Anyways I have already used the maze maps to create 3d levels.

Below is the sourcecode.

 

import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.util.Random;

public class MazeGenerator01 extends Applet {

 int SizeX = 32;
 int SizeY = 32;
 private short[][] map = new short[ SizeX ][ SizeY ];
 Random r = new Random();

 public void init() {
  generatemaze(r.nextInt(70)+30);
 }

 public boolean mouseUp( Event evt, int x, int y)
 {
  generatemaze(r.nextInt(70)+30);
  repaint();
  return true;
 }

 public void paint(Graphics g) {

  g.drawString("Press mouse in Applet to create new maze", 0, getSize().height-12 );
  for(int x=0;x<32;x++)
  {
   for(int y=0;y<32;y++)
   {
    if(map[x][y]==4)
    {
     g.fillRect(x*10,y*7,10,7);
    }
   }
  }
 }

 public void generatemaze(int straightness)
 {
