    Pick a cell, mark it as part of the maze. Add the walls of the cell to the wall list. While there are walls in the list: Pick a random wall from the list. If only one of the cells that the wall divides is visited, then: Make the wall a passage and mark the unvisited cell as part of the maze. Add the neighboring walls of the cell to the wall list.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_cellular_automaton

    A block cellular automaton or partitioning cellular automaton is a special kind of cellular automaton in which the lattice of cells is divided into non-overlapping blocks (with different partitions at different time steps) and the transition rule is applied to a whole block at a time rather than a single cell. Block cellular automata are useful ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze-solving_algorithm

    Robot in a wooden maze. A maze-solving algorithm is an automated method for solving a maze.The random mouse, wall follower, Pledge, and Trémaux's algorithms are designed to be used inside the maze by a traveler with no prior knowledge of the maze, whereas the dead-end filling and shortest path algorithms are designed to be used by a person or computer program that can see the whole maze at once.

    This could be changed so that, for instance, a 2 by 2 block of cells can be determined by itself and the cells adjacent to itself. There are continuous automata . These are like totalistic cellular automata, but instead of the rule and states being discrete ( e.g. a table, using states {0,1,2}), continuous functions are used, and the states ...

    Maze game is a video game genre first described by journalists during the 1980s to describe any game in which the entire playing field is a maze. The player must escape monsters, outrace an opponent, or navigate the maze within a time limit.

    The first two create a single block-laying switch engine: a configuration that leaves behind two-by-two still life blocks as it translates itself across the game's universe. [36] The third configuration creates two such patterns. The first has only ten live cells, which has been proven to be minimal. [37]

    Figuring out a way to remove large amounts of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is itself a bit of a maze. Who knows—maybe a maze can be part of the solution. Who knows—maybe a maze can be part ...

  9. Maze: Solve the World's Most Challenging Puzzle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAZE:_Solve_the_World's...

    Unlike other puzzle books, each page is involved in solving the book's riddle. Specifically, each page represents a room or space in a hypothetical house, and each room leads to other "rooms" in this "house". Part of the puzzle involves reaching the center of the house, Room #45 (page 45 in the book), and back to Room #1 in only sixteen steps.
