Toy maze generator project

About

Strictly hobby project. Attempting to refamiliarise myself with Golang whilst working my way through the excellent book Mazes For Programmers by Jamis Buck

Usage

Build using the Makefile

make

Generate a maze

./maze -width=25 -height=10 -algorithm=aldousbroder -pngfile=/tmp/mymaze.png

That will give you something like this
