- 3D Maze
The mazes are displayed in three dimensions.
Press the appropriate button to get
a "New" maze, "Solve" a maze,
or"Clear" the solution from
a maze.
When this applet is run under the
application viewer, resizing the window
results in a new maze (except when the window is minimized and
subsequently
restored). Larger windows yield mazes with more rooms.
The vertical scroll bar can be used
to change the tilt of the maze.
Check "Square rooms" or
"Hexagonal rooms" to change the style of maze.
After a maze with square rooms is
drawn, you can use the arrow keys to
solve it. After a maze with hexagonal rooms is drawn, you can
use the Home,
Up Arrow, PgUp, End, Down Arrow, and PgDn keys (or the corresponding
numbers)
to solve it. If those keys are laid out on your numeric keypad
as follows:
Home Up Arrow PgUp
7 8 9
5
End Down Arrow PgDn
1 2 3
the direction of movement in the applet
will correspond to the direction of
the key from "5" on the keypad.
Each maze has exactly one solution
that does not involve backtracking
(passing through a doorway more than once).
