Maze-Maker

Maze-Maker is a Python script that generates random mazes using a recursive backtracking algorithm. The maze is represented as a 2D grid where walls are denoted by 1 and paths by 0.

Features

• Generates mazes with customizable width and height.
• Uses recursive backtracking to carve out paths.
• Displays the maze in the console with # as walls and spaces as paths.

How It Works

1. The grid is initialized with walls.
2. A random starting point is selected.
3. The recursive backtracking algorithm is applied to carve out paths in the maze.
4. Directions (up, down, left, right) are randomly shuffled and processed.

Example Usage

To generate a 42x22 maze, run the following command:

python maze_maker.py

Customization

To customize the size of the maze, modify the width and height in the create_maze function:

maze = create_maze(50, 30)  # Generates a 50x30 maze

Requirements

Python 3.x
