24 alternatives to A unique generated maze to share with your Valentine

An experiment with maze generation, started off in Rust, then ported to js to make it a web-app. The algorithm, code and setup aims to make it simple - and as always, simple turned out hard ;). The "about" dialog has some more information on choices made, tech used, inspiration and backgrounds. Most important, for a tech crowd, I guess is: - it uses p5.js - I generally prefer just vanilla js and canvas for my generative art projects, but here I wanted to focus on the outcome, not the tooling. - uses seedrandom with the name of you and your valentine as seed. So a unique, but reproducible…

This web application generates unique, shareable mazes based on two names entered by users. Built with p5.js and seedrandom, it creates reproducible mazes where the layout, colors, and design are determined by the… Below are 24 products that do a similar job, ranked by how close each is in meaning and then by launch-day votes.

    I was fascinated reading through another recent HN submission about a highly efficient implementation of A* in Lisp, which got me thinking about how I could do something similar in Python. However, these kinds of pathfinding algorithms really need complex terrain/mazes with interesting obstructions to showcase what they can do and how they work. So, I started thinking about how I could generate cool and diverse random "mazes" (they aren't really mazes, but I'm not sure what the best term is). I got a bit carried away thinking of lots of different cool ways to generate these mazes, such…
