When creating a maze combining 'beauty' and 'as much complexity as possible' on a computer, you can download it as well

Mr. Craig S. Kaplan belonging to Computer Graphics Lab of Waterloo University, Canada has published " Maze Design " which generated computer with maze combining "beauty" and "complexity". It is "a complex as possible" and a number of "beautiful" mazes.

The complexity of the maze also depends on human viewpoints such as "Do you solve by maze with eyes?" "Do you use a pen?" "Do you actually enter the maze?", But you can also measure it with a mathematical ruler Possible. Therefore, Mr. Kaplan created a maze based on computer science aiming at compatibility between "attracting people" and "mathematical complexity". Mr. Kaplan's maze has geometric beauty, reflecting real world objects.

The mazes Kaplan created are as follows.

◆ 1: Dot (4 × 4)
It connects from a black dot to a point. A large maze is available as a PDF file from here .

◆ 2: Polyhedron
A polyhedral maze that connects S to E. A large version (PDF) can be downloaded from here .

◆ 3: Cube - A maze of stacked cubes (PDF file) . This also connects S to E.

In addition, the following uses Kaplan's "system to make maze from photograph". This was inspired by artist Christopher Berg , and human designers manually split images into parts. Assign the style parameter of Small set to that part and sketch the rough path that becomes the answer. After that, the system seems to produce a maze that considers designer's choice.

◆ 4: Snail - A maze that connects red dots on the left side snail to red dots on the right side. This is because the PDF file is not published, you can download it by right clicking on the image link destination PNG image.
