> A collection of maze generation programs
|

|
||||
## `main.lua`
|
||||
Ported back in 2015 (and sine adapted) from an algorithm of my own design that originally implemented in Python.
|

Ported back in 2015 (and since adapted) from an algorithm of my own design that was originally implemented in Python.
|
||||
|
||||
Now has a 3d mode!
|
||||
|
||||
Current blog posts about this project:
|
||||
|
||||
- [Language Review: Lua](https://starbeamrainbowlabs.com/blog/article.php?article=posts/070-Language-Review-Lua.html) (2D maze generator)
|
||||
- [3D mazes with Lua, OpenSCAD, and Blender](#coming-soon) (coming soon!)
|
||||
|
||||
## Installation
|
||||
|
||||
### System Requirements
|
||||
- **Required**
|
||||
- [Lua](https://lua.org/)
|
||||
- **Optional**
|
||||
- [OpenSCAD](http://www.openscad.org/): for creating STL files and viewing generated .scad files
|
||||
- [Blender](https://www.blender.org/): a great tool for importing generated STL files and having some fun rendering them
|
||||
|
||||
### Setup
|
||||
Clone this repository:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
git clone https://git.starbeamrainbowlabs.com/sbrl/multimaze.git
|
||||
cd multimaze.lua
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
See the usage information for the program by calling `main.lua` like so:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
lua main.lua help
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Operating modes:
|
||||
|
||||
Mode | Description
|
||||
--------------------|----------------------
|
||||
`help` | Displays the help text
|
||||
`maze` | Generates 2D mazes and writes them to stdout
|
||||
`maze3d` | Generates 3D mazes and writes them in layers to stdout
|
||||
`maze3d_openscad` | Generates 3D mazes and writes an OpenSCAD file to the specified location
|
||||
|
||||
To render a 2D maze as ASCII, do this:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
lua main.lua maze --width 25 --height 25
|
||||
# Alternatively, in shorthand:
|
||||
lua main.lua maze -w 25 -h 25
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
To render a 3D maze as a .STL file, do this:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Generate the OpenSCAD file
|
||||
lua main.lua maze3d_openscad -w 91 -h 91 -d 71 -f 91x91x71.scad
|
||||
# Convert the OpenSCAD file to an STL
|
||||
openscad -o 91x91x71.stl 91x91x71.scad
|
||||
```
|
