Maze generation: Difference between revisions

Erlang is single assignment. To get mutability I use processes. The code is over-enginered for this task, but the extra is used for [[Maze_solving]]. Also, Erlang starts counting at 1, not 0, so the co-ordinate of the lower left corner is 1,1.

 

<lang Erlang>

-module( maze ).

</pre>

 

Uses 2 diagraph "objects": a) the 'matrix', a fully connected digraph of MxN vertices and b) the 'maze', an unconnected digraph, also MxN, that is populated while walking.

Employs a faux Visitor pattern to populate the maze while traversing the matrix in depth-first order.
