Make desk
Pick a shape and how cells tile. Leave Play on to walk the sheet here — drag, tap, or arrows. Rectangle ortho boards, plus circle, triangle, and hexagon outlines, can open on the homepage with the same seed when the link is offered.
Carve Watch plays passages opening so you can see the algorithm work. Distance map colours cells by steps from the entrance. Show route overlays the shortest walk without spoiling a homepage Marks run (this desk is separate).
Carve Watch plays passages opening. Paint mask (square cells only) cuts cells out of the board — stay in one connected region. Binary Tree, Sidewinder, and Eller need a full ortho grid without a mask. Distance map colours cells by steps from the entrance.
E and R
E pulls the solution shorter or longer. R pulls corridors into rivers or into many short stubs. Tendencies, not promises. Textbook carvers ignore E and R.
Algorithms
Eleven carvers: the E/R tree plus Recursive Backtrack, Kruskal, Simplified Prim, True Prim, Aldous–Broder, Wilson, Hunt and Kill, and square-only Binary Tree, Sidewinder, and Eller. Binary Tree, Sidewinder, and Eller need a full ortho grid without a mask.
Mask
On rectangular square cells, Paint mask lets you drag to cut cells out so the maze follows a silhouette. Keep one connected region. Clear mask restores the full board.
Export
PNG for a quick share. SVG for print or edit in a vector tool. Both stamp nonogramgo.com/maze under the board. For multi-up paper sheets, use the print desk.
FAQ
Why can’t I open this board on the homepage?
Homepage play supports square rooms and the outline shapes with matching parameters. Some Make-only combinations stay on this page.
Does Make use the daily seed?
No. Daily stays on the play backtracker. Make seeds are independent so experiments never change the worldwide board.
