This project acted as an excuse to make something fun to look at after spending the past month working through the Crafting Interpreters book, which while cool, does not produce very compelling output for the layperson. I got to play around with a lot of exciting tools, like wpgu and imgui which I look very much forward to utilizing in projects going forward.
I pretty much just went to the wikipedia page for maze generation algorithms and started implementing what I thought I could manage in my fleeting attention span. The topic is neat to look at but not terribly compelling to write about.
I would recommend anyone interested in the topic of pathfinding and/or maze generation to sit down and implement this yourself, it is a very rewarding experience once you have it working.
