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.
Create Mazes You Can Print, Share, and Customize
A maze generator lets you create many different puzzles by changing a small set of settings instead of drawing each maze by hand. You will get the Python project running, then control its size, shape, color, seed, complexity, and output.
The finished script can produce PNG or interactive HTML mazes and save reusable presets for different projects. No coding experience is assumed; the guide shows which parts are safe to edit and how to check the result after each change.
What You'll Learn
The lessons begin with "Run a Python Project" and build toward "Export Useful Files."
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.
A Complete Maze Generator
Run and reuse the finished Python script to create PNG or interactive HTML mazes with your chosen settings and presets.
