Jamis Buck is quite known for his works on maze generation, and his library 'Theseus' is what I used to create symmetric mazes and see for my self how can the symmetry help the problem of a random maze being fair. This library is open source and can be used as a guide for implementing a random symmetrical maze generator. I myself am still looking through Theseus code to find how Jamis Buck has actually done it. | |

| Sep 11, 2018 at 8:08 | comment | added | Mahdad Baghani | Thanks for your time. Actually I want a symmetric maze, cause the answers I got shows that uniform algorithms like wilson's would not help the problem as much as symmetry. but in my opinion, a perfect maze in the case of a multiplayer game, would limit the gameplay, meaning each team is either on the right path or not. A non-perfect maze would enable stealth gameplay in which players can sneak behind the other player using cycles in the maze ( players can only see their rivals if the rivals are in their line of sight). could you elaborate more on how to create a symmetric maze? | |
