public class MazeGenerator

extends Object

The class generates mazes for Karel J. Robot's world. You can call generateMaze() to create a maze of the default size (12x12), and pass the result to World.startFromString(String). For example, you can place this line at the start of your RobotTask.task() method:

     World.startFromString( MazeGenerator.generateMaze() );
 

Alternatively, you can use generateMaze(int,int) to create a maze of any arbitrary size.
