Maze Generator

[playjacob]

This is my maze generator. It creates a maze useing the Recursive backtracker witch i found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_generation_algorithm#Recursive_backtracker

It'll save the finished maze in the a folder with the name Mazes in @scriptdir as Maze (Seed).bmp where Seed is the seed of the maze and size is the size.

It usees the Bitmap Libray by evelertoaster find it here:

Thanks to MvGulik for cleaning the code.

Here's a picture of a finished 25*25 maze:

The green dot is the start and the red dot is the end.

It can also solve the maze. Here's the solution for the above 25*25 maze.

So here's the code:

;~ #AutoIt3Wrapper_Au3Check_Stop_OnWarning=y
;~ #AutoIt3Wrapper_AU3Check_Parameters=-q -d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6 -w 7

;Thanks to MvGulik (http://www.autoitscript.com/forum/user/14111-mvgulik/)  for cleaning up the code. And for RND_SeedTimed function

Also be VERY carefull when generating very big mazes, my computer crashed when i was trying to generate a 500*500 maze. -FIXED

Please post comments and/or any bug or problems.

Sorry for any bad spelling that there may be.

Updated post with picture and fixed missing parts of code

[ConsultingJoe]

Wow, pretty cool. Now can it solve the maze too?

[JohnOne]

Seems like this could be the start of a great AI comp here.

Fastest bot to navigate 50 random mazes

[Belini]

Very nice, congratulations on the script

[czardas]

Nice example. Good job! I can see myself using this Bitmap library.

[playjacob]

UPDATE: It can now solve the maze.

Not the best solveing speed but its okey.

Code's in the first post!

Wow, pretty cool. Now can it solve the maze too?

Now it can

Edited June 29, 2012 by playjacob

[JohnOne]

Are you aware that there is another solution to that maze?

Just wondering if that is normal behaviour of the generator.

Edited June 29, 2012 by JohnOne

[Belini]

I also found two others.

[JohnOne]

There is only one other route to the original exit in your picture, the other leads to a different exit.

For the record it is not the same as the route I found, I've not ran the script I just followed it

and can't be bothered hi-lighting it .

[Belini]

@johnOne i found another route that you spoke, it became even more interesting with two routes.

[JohnOne]

Yes, that's pretty close to the route I seen, except, it goes from the original green dot, to the

original red dot.

I'm wondering if there are supposed to be more than one way to solve it.

[czardas]

Getting out is easy, the hard part is getting to the middle.

[Belini]

[JohnOne]

That's the one, it's not the most direct, but it a route nonetheless.

[playjacob]

What do you mean? It's not harder to get to the middle.

I'm wondering if there are supposed to be more than one way to solve it.

There's not but it makes it cooler if there's more but i'll have to get the solveing to find all the paths

I also found two others.

There's is only ONE start and ONE end point to the maze the other ones are just dead ends.

[czardas]

What do you mean? It's not harder to get to the middle.

Because so many people were finding ways out, I figured that getting in might be harder. It depends on if there's a middle or not.

It was just a joke.

@ playjacob now I understand, congratulations one more time by your script.

[playjacob]

@ playjacob now I understand, congratulations one more time by your script.

You're right as far as the entry and the exit goes, but in this example there's actualy two paths.

Not totaly sure how or why it made two but it did.

[MvGulik]

Erm ... right, broke something again while trying to reformat the OP's code. ... back to debugging >_<

Anyway, here's something that might be of some use in relation to slapping a ID on a particular maze. (needs maze size dimensions to of course to complete the reproducibility.)

;; use
dim $iUsedSeed = RND_SeedTimed() ;; return used random seed value. [int32]
;; or
dim $iUsedSeed = RND_SeedTimed(1234567890) ;; uses given seed. (Should be a Int32-range value. CQ: Anything else is untested.)

;; UDF code
Global Const $INT31u = Int('0x0080000000') ;; (2^31), int64(2147483648)
Global Const $INT32u = Int('0x0100000000') ;; (2^32), int64(4294967296)
Func RND_SeedTimed($iSeed=Default) ;; Set seed base on current timer value. Returns used seed value.
    if Not IsNumber($iSeed) Then
        $iSeed = int(Mod(Int(TimerInit()), $INT32u) - ($INT31u),1) ;; wraps to [-2^31 and 2^31-1]. (has value shift)
    EndIf
    SRandom($iSeed)
    Return $iSeed
