Examples

Showing a colored maze

import mazepy as mp

grid = mp.grids.ColoredGrid(10,10, base='red', end='blue')
mp.algorithms.Ellers(grid)
grid.distances = grid[5, 5].distances()   # Set starting cell (this is required)
grid.show()

Mazes of different shapes

import mazepy as mp

grid = mp.grids.PolarGrid(10)
mp.algorithms.RecursiveBacktrack(grid)
grid.show()
