|

<short><p><i>by Dr. Craig S. Kaplan</i>. In this talk, I discuss the role of the computer in the process of designing mazes. I present some well known algorithms for maze construction, and more recent research that attempts to novel mazes with non-trivial mathematical or aesthetic properties.

<abstract><p>For thousands of years, mazes and labyrinths have played
|
||||
an important role in human culture and myth. Today, solving
|
||||
mazes is a popular pastime, whether with pencil on paper
|
||||
or by navigating through a cornfield.
|
||||
</p><p>The construction of compelling mazes encompasses a variety of
|
||||
challenges in mathematics, algorithm design, and aesthetics.
|
||||
The maze should be visually attractive, but it should also be
|
||||
an engaging puzzle. Master designers balance these two goals
|
||||
with wonderful results.
