NAME

maze - an automated X11 demo repeatedly creating and solving a random maze  

SYNOPSIS

maze [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-grid-size pixels] [-live-color color] [-dead-color color] [-solve-delay usecs] [-pre-delay usecs] [-post-delay usecs]  

DESCRIPTION

The maze program creates a "random" maze and then solves it with graphical feedback.  

OPTIONS

maze accepts the following options:
-window
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
-root
Draw on the root window.
-install
Install a private colormap for the window.
-visual visual
Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
-grid-size pixels
The size of each block of the maze, in pixels; default is 0, meaning pick a random grid size.
-live-color color
The color of the path.
-dead-color color
The color of the failed path (it is also stippled with a 50% pattern.)
-solve-delay integer
Delay (in microseconds) between each step of the solution path. Default 5000, or about 1/200th second.
-pre-delay integer
Delay (in microseconds) between generating a maze and starting to solve it. Default 2000000 (2 seconds.)
-post-delay integer
Delay (in microseconds) after solving a maze and before generating a new one. Default 4000000 (4 seconds.)

Clicking the mouse in the maze window controls it.

LeftButton
Clears the window and restarts maze.
MiddleButton
Pause or unpause the program.
RightButton
Exit.
 

BUGS

Expose events force a restart of maze.

Mouse actions are based on "raw" values (Button1, Button2 and Button3) instead of using the pointer map.  

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY
to get the default host and display number.
XENVIRONMENT
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
