This program generates an ortogonal rectangular maze in C using the depth first search recursive backtracking algorithm indicated in the Maze Generation Wikipedia page.

To execute the program, send as an inline parameter the number of rows and columns for the maze.

\main.exe nrow ncol

Neither of these values can be greater than 127. Hence, the maximum dimension is 127x127 cells. By default, the program prints the result in a file called "Maze_{nrow}x{ncol}.txt" located in the same directory of the main.c file.

Further development is aimed toward implementing more maze generation algorithms and creating a menu that allows the user to select the preferred method of maze generation. Some other tasks considered are:

• Changing the name of the output file so it inlcudes the date and time when it was created.
• Declaring the functions as prototypes and move their definitions to the end of the file.
• Or creating a header file with the functions and variables used to generate the maze.

This project was inspired by Daniel Shiffman's Coding Challenge #10: Maze Generator
