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).
