ABSTRACT

Storing a maze in a computer readable form People like pictures, computers like numbers. The imagery we will show to the player of our maze game will be pictorial, but internally the computer will only understand numbers. To store the maze in a computer readable form we will first ensure that the maze is effectively a grid. Each cell in the grid can have an entrance to the North, South, East or West, or any combination of these. There are 16 possible combinations of four elements.
