I had the concept in my head for some time and firstly just prototyped it using only HTML & CSS. Sent it to a few friends and they liked it so I made it into its own website and added few 'competitive' features like click counter and share button.

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.

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…
