maze generator

Installation

You must use npm 2.7.0 or higher because of the scoped package name.

$ npm init
$ npm install @mitchallen/maze-generator --save

Usage

    "use strict";

    var mazeFactory = require("@mitchallen/maze-generator");

    let xSize = 5;
    let ySize = 6;

    var maze = mazeFactory.Square({ x: xSize, y: ySize });

Browser Usage:

Methods

For more methods see the parent class: @mitchallen/connection-grid.

gridFactory = factory.create(spec)

The create method is deprecated. Use Square instead.

mazeFactory = factory.Square(spec)

Factory method that returns a square maze generator object.

It takes one spec parameter that must be an object with x and y values specifying the size of the maze.

If x and y size values are less than one (0) they will be normalized to 0.

You can call Square multiple times to create multiple mazes.

var mazeFactory = require("@mitchallen/maze-generator");

var maze1 = mazeFactory.Square( { x: 5, y: 10 } );
var maze2 = mazeFactory.Square( { x: 7, y: 20 } );

maze1.generate();
maze2.generate();

mazeFactory = factory.Hexagon(spec)

Factory method that returns a hexagon maze generator object.

It takes one spec parameter that must be an object with x and y values specifying the size of the maze.

If x and y size values are less than one (0) they will be normalized to 0.

You can call Hexagon multiple times to create multiple mazes.

var mazeFactory = require("@mitchallen/maze-generator");

var maze1 = mazeFactory.Hexagon( { x: 5, y: 10 } );
var maze2 = mazeFactory.Hexagon( { x: 7, y: 20 } );

maze1.generate();
maze2.generate();

mazeFactory = factory.Triangle(spec)

Factory method that returns a triangle maze generator object.

It takes one spec parameter that must be an object with x and y values specifying the size of the maze.

If x and y size values are less than one (0) they will be normalized to 0.

You can call Triangle multiple times to create multiple mazes.

var mazeFactory = require("@mitchallen/maze-generator");

var maze1 = mazeFactory.Triangle( { x: 5, y: 10 } );
var maze2 = mazeFactory.Triangle( { x: 7, y: 20 } );

maze1.generate();
maze2.generate();

mazeFactory = factory.Circle(spec)

Factory method that returns a circle maze generator object.

It takes one spec parameter that must be an object with a rings value specifying the size of the maze.

You can call Circle multiple times to create multiple mazes.

var mazeFactory = require("@mitchallen/maze-generator");

var maze1 = mazeFactory.Circle( { rings: 5 } );
var maze2 = mazeFactory.Circle( { rings: 6 } );

maze1.generate();
maze2.generate();

maze.generate(spec = null);

Generates a maze by filling a connection grid with connection info.

maze.generate();

maze.generate(spec.mask = array)

Generates a maze with masked off cells.

let spec = {
    mask: [
        { c: 2, r: 3 },
        { c: 2, r: 4 }
    ]
};
mazeGenerator.generate(spec);

maze.generate(spec.start = array)

Generates a maze starting at a cell other than 0,0. Useful when you want to mask off 0,0.

let spec = {
    start: { c: 3, r: 3 },
    mask: [
        { c: 0, r: 0 },
        { c: 0, r: 1 },
        { c: 1, r: 0 },
        { c: 1, r: 1 }
    ]
};
mazeGenerator.generate(spec);

maze.printBoard()

Logs to the console the generated maze. You should examine the source for this method to determine other ways to display the generated maze.

maze.generate();
maze.printBoard();

Example:

SQUARE MAZE: 20, 20
