Counting small mazes
Before we get into general algorithms for counting mazes, I thought it would be interesting to do some small cases by hand. It’s quite fun to do, and it’ll give us a few numbers to check against the results of … Continue reading

Counting mazes: before we begin
If you’re following the maze series, I hope you’re persuaded that thinking about how to count mazes is a reasonable line of attack on the random access problem.

Random access to mazes: plan of attack
In the last post, I explained what I’m trying to do: to assign each maze an index number in such a way that we can generate a maze given its index number, and find out the index number of any … Continue reading

What’s all this about mazes? A statement of intent.
I’m trying something that I think is going to be fun and interesting – and, who knows, maybe even useful. I want to write a program that allows “random access” to all possible mazes, and does it quickly enough to … Continue reading
