This is a collection of maze generators in variety of programming languages. Where possible, the same basic maze generation algorithm is used (recursive backtracking). Some of the maze generators include a solver as well. Keep in mind that I wrote these over a span of several years primarily as a way to familiarize myself with new programming languages. For that reason, some of the code could be improved, which I fully intend to do eventually.
Here is a list of the languages:
- maze.4th Forth
- maze8.8o Octo Chip-8 high-level assembly language
- maze.adb Ada
- maze.arm ARM Assembly Language
- maze.awk AWK
- maze.bas BASIC
- maze.c C
- maze8.ch8 Chip-8
- maze.clj Clojure
- maze.cob COBOL
- maze.cpp C++
- maze.d D
- maze.dylan Dylan
- maze.e Eiffel
- maze.erl Erlang
- maze.factor Factor
- maze.f90 Fortran
- maze.go Go
- maze.hs Haskell
- maze.io Io
- Maze.java Java
- maze.jcl IBM System/360 Assembly Language
- maze.jl JL
- maze.kt Kotlin
- maze.lisp Common Lisp
- maze.lua Lua
- maze.mips 64-bit MIPS Assembly Language
- maze.ml OCaml
- maze.nim Nimrod
- maze.pas Pascal
- maze.pl Perl
- maze.pro Prolog
- maze.pli PL/1
- maze.py Python
- maze.r R
- maze.rb Ruby
- maze.rs Rust
- maze.s x86-64
- maze.scad OpenSCAD
- Maze.scala Scala
- maze.sml SML
- maze.sno SNOBOL4
- maze.sparc SPARC64 Assembly Language
- maze.st Smalltalk
- maze.swift Swift
- maze.tcl TCL
- maze.v Coq
- maze.vim VIM
Some languages in which I have yet to implement a maze generator include:
- APL
- Groovy
- J
- Joy
- Julia
- Vala
There are, of course, many others. I prioritize real programming languages over joke programming languages such as BF, Whitespace, INTERCAL, etc. There are two reasons for this: (1) most of the joke programming languages are very primitive, making the implementation of a maze generator a complex task and (2) there are many real programming languages available that provide interesting targets.
