Maze of different shapes

[botcheddevil]

Right now we have all the mazes here in square shape only, could these shapes be in circle, hexagon or rectangle?

An interesting point! Yeah, all my default mazes start out as rectangles.

I think this will involve writing a little code. Essentially, you'd want to be able to pass in a (still-rectangular) grid, like we do in DungeonRooms, to a maze-generating algorithm.

But inside the maze rectangle, you just fill in the Maze.grid with a bunch of 1s, so you end up with the perimeter shape you want.

It sounds easy enough. Do you want to take a crack at it, or do you want me to give it a whirl?

Not sure if you have looked into at this https://www.mazegenerator.net

Its just not a perimeter shape, the internal nodes and edges also have conform to the to it.

That's interesting!

At the moment, mazelib only supports rectangular grids.

What I wouldn't want to do is have to make variants for every generator, solver, and transmuter, to support different shapes. That wouldn't be supportable.

May be we can arrange the nodes such, so that each node has 6 exit / entry points where some edges are locked / walled and others are not in case of hexagon, not sure how we would implement a circle.

I haven't looked deep into this repo, I understand here we get a matrix of 1's and 0's which represent wall and path respectively.
