Create a Custom Maze Generator
Generate PNG or HTML mazes, then customize shape, color, size, seed, and complexity through beginner-friendly settings-no coding experience needed.
Overview
By the end of this guide, you will be able to create a working Python maze generator that exports printable PNG mazes and interactive HTML mazes.
This replaces the slow process of drawing mazes by hand or relying on basic online generators with limited control. You will be able to adjust shape, color, size, complexity, seed, and output type from one reusable script.
The guide starts with a fast path to get your first maze working, then teaches the settings so you can customize the project safely without rewriting the full code.
What You'll Learn
Run a Python Project
Set up Python, install Pillow with pip, save the script correctly, and run it from the command line.
Customize Maze Settings
Use the settings block to control output type, file name, size, density, shape, colors, and repeatable seeds.
Create Different Maze Styles
Generate rectangle, circle, triangle, and mask-based mazes with different difficulty levels and visual styles.
Export Useful Files
Create browser-playable HTML mazes or printable PNG files, including solved versions for puzzle keys.
What's Included
- A fast-track setup path for installing Python, using pip, installing Pillow, and running the script.
- A complete working Python maze generator script.
- Plain-language explanations of the settings that control shape, size, output, color, and difficulty.
- Beginner-safe customization workflows for creating presets and testing one change at a time.
- Guidance for exporting interactive HTML mazes and printable PNG maze files.
