My program will initiate you through a terrible battle--will you emerge victorious from the maze (enter at top, exit at bottom), or will your computer mindlessly munge away, or perhaps fritter it's itty-bitty mind into mindless garbage? [Heh-heh] The preceding message illustrated a 12*12 maze produced by my entry. When asked for an output destination, enter a filename or LPT: [if you happen to have a hardcopy parallel printer handy] or LCD: [to see if you can pass the initiation--the first part is to get a good maze, and the 2nd part is to solve it ;-) ] or... just enter a filename. Much earlier on this distribution list, there was a discussion of the BASIC RANDOMIZE equivalent, and you will see a line I whipped out for this contest. :-) You tell ME, does it really mean that a new maze may be created for every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every month of every year in the century? Could be. :-)
