omg I think it is working

Jim

@DestructibleLemon What are you trying to do? Generate mazes?

Destructible Lemon

well

lucky for you, I can now show you

Jim

@DestructibleLemon It's a little small. Looks more like a fractal than a maze

Destructible Lemon

I can make bigger ones

I use ellers algorithm so it doesn't take half an hour

ok it might take half an hour idk

@NewMainPosts dunno how to do this, like i have no idea (i'm stuck thinking about quines, though that's not the right approach)

@DestructibleLemon Oh I know this algorithm. I never implemented it, but it's supposed to be fast

Destructible Lemon

do you want the explanation of what you're looking at?

Jim

@DestructibleLemon Absolutely

Destructible Lemon

tbh I suspect it might look different if I started it in the bottom left even if I swapped the colours backwards because there are a lot of lines at the bottom

@Jim so, first it generates eller maze

then, starting from the top left, it colours a pixel, pushes the neighbours into a queue, then colours the next pixel in the queue, adding its neighbours too, and so on

a flood fill image

kinda

also colour constancy makes the images look weird as heck

Jim

The walls are not present in the image is that it?

like, some of the parts look like they're shaded red, but if you showed the zoomed in version to someone who didn't see the image, they would not call it red

it looks bizzare to me...

brb tweaking a couple of the settings

ooh that looks weird

Jim

@DestructibleLemon I don't think I understand how you perform the flood, the final image does not have a maze structure

Destructible Lemon

@Jim ok, so...

it doesn't illustrate the maze

after a while, the difference in colour between different parts of the maze increases

anyway

Jim

@DestructibleLemon That I understand
