================================================= PolyMaze - Create mazes from a variety of sources =================================================
This utility converts several different kinds of inputs into mazes.
Allowed Inputs:
- Aspect ratio (height / width) of a rectangular maze
- Text - convert the content of the string into a maze / mazes
- Image - convert the dark parts of an image into a maze / mazes
Options:
- Height / Width - adjust the difficulty (measured in polygon side lengths)
- Complexity - adjust the difficulty (measured in polygon density)
- Font - use your own font when making a String maze (especially for unicode strings)
- Shape - explicitly choose the type of tesselation used in the maze
polymaze
should work with Py2 or Py3.
pip install polymaze
If you get the error decoder zip not available
when using it, then probably
PILLOW
did not install completely. Try to upgrade or reinstall
PILLOW
and make sure it says png support was installed.
To make a generic rectangular maze, at the command line:
polymaze
To see all options:
polymaze -h
For example, to make a string into a maze with some extra options (note the n gets converted to a real newline internally):
polymaze --text "Happy\nBirthday!" --complexity 10 --shape Polycat
polymaze -t 迷路 -c 10 -s OctaDiamond --font meiryob.ttc
Everything above assumes the command line entry point (named polymaze) works after installation. If not, then you will need to navigate to the root package directory and use:
python cli_runner.py [--options...]
Please see demo.py for examples of how to use the components. You can also run it simply with:
python demo.py
The primary components are PolyGrid
(the geometric core of the whole package),
and PolyMaze
which converts a PolyGrid
into a maze.
If anyone is interested, I can document how to specify new tessellations.
I developed this to regain some basic trigonometry skills which I have lost over the years.
If you find this useful or have any feedback, please let me know! Specifically I have only tested this on Windows so please make an issue if it doesn't work in Linux, etc.
