Sample Maze

Here is a _HUGE_ sample maze: http://www.bearca.com/linux/mazes.txt

I made it with my maze generator:

JavaScript, but hey - it works.

Parsed in 2.08 seconds
Full GD Render in 24.57

That file have any newlines in it? (came out as 1 row with 28,781 characters in it) Sorta breaks that 132chr / row limit.

-r

There were linebreaks in it (!) but it had problems because the lines where so long.

I fixed that maze so that the spaces were correct and so that the lines worked correctly. The only thing it breaks the rules for now is the fact that it is 161 characters long per row.

You can find my fixed version of this maze at:

Eh? Is that actually a valid maze? i.e. using ! and a newline *combined* ("!n", if you will) to deliminate a new row?

That is not valid, there is another topic somwhere about this. Rows in one maze can be delimited by new lines or ! but not both.

hmm, I can't seem to get your maze generator to work, at all.

Oops...

I had a bug in Netscape I hadn't noticed...

It's fixed now.

cool, works great now, Thank you very much

On the topic of the length of lines that my generator creates...

Unless your parser specifically cuts off at the 132 char limit, it should in theory be little problem for your maze to render the rest...

My maze parser/renderer program is limited only by the capability of the computer and time - But it still easily adheres to all the rules.

what if there are multiple wall types, or 'special items'?

my script parse the corrected
version of the maze in 0.618 seconds not bad.. ;) ;p

i don't use GD but only html and text ;)

bye

Ah, but it all depends on the system you're on... I happen to be running on a 233 Mhz Windows PC, on which PHP is rather *cough* slow...

0.5 seconds here...(only html and embeded css used)

I think I'll modify it to show the parse time vs render build time...

Cheers,
