Weave Maze Generator

Weave Maze Generator is an application designed to create intricate mazes with customizable features. It offers both a browser and command-line interface, allowing users to generate mazes with various styles and complexities. Users can modify maze parameters such as loopiness, crossiness, wall shapes, and passage dimensions through specific command-line flags. The application generates multiple output files in formats like PDF, PNG, and SVG, including both the maze and its solution.

To install the command-line version, users need Node.js and can do so via npm with the command `npm install -g weave-maze-generator`. Uninstallation is also straightforward with `npm uninstall -g weave-maze-generator`. The maze generation algorithm utilizes a grid system, where nodes are added to cells based on user-defined dimensions or a mask image. The algorithm incorporates structures like crosses and loops to enhance maze complexity while ensuring no cycles are formed.

The rendering process involves selecting tiles for each cell based on connected edges, with options for curved or straight walls. The source code is available for both versions of the application, and the project is inspired by previous works in maze generation.
