Maze Generators

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.
