Maze Generator

Named after the Overlook hotel in The Shining, Goverlook generates a maze

Building

With Go installed [https://golang.org/doc/install]:

go build -o goverlook .

Running

(with goverlook in executable path)

Default will create a new 20x20 maze and output as a PNG on stdout:

goverlook > out.png

Maze with specific size:

goverlook -width=60 -height=40 > out.png

Maze rendering as PNG (default):

goverlook -out=png > out.png

Maze rendering as JSON:

goverlook -out=json > out.json

Rendering a JSON maze from stdin:

cat out.json | goverlook > out.png

Chaining goverlook into generation / render stages:

goverlook -out=json | goverlook > out.png

JSON Format

Mazes are represented as a collection of collections of "cells". Each cell has a northRoute and westRoute boolean.

{
	"cells": [
		[{
			"northRoute": false,
			"westRoute": false
		}, {
			"northRoute": false,
			"westRoute": false
		}],
		[{
			"northRoute": false,
			"westRoute": true
		}, {
			"northRoute": true,
			"westRoute": true
		}]
	]
}
