Puzzle Maker Pro – Mazes 2D Random Shapes

Description

With Mazes 2D Random Shapes you get four different types of mazes.

First of all there are two different types of shapes included:

• Voronoi Cells, a unique, organically looking pattern. This is used for a.o. train and subway stations, to mark the region that’s served by each train station, but it’s also an organic type of pattern, which resembles the skin pattern of a giraffe.
• Triangulation, irregular non-overlapping triangles. This pattern is a bit less gentle than the Voronoi pattern, and it’s also a unqiue type of maze.

Additionally, for both mazes you can define the spread of the cells (actually the dots that are used to create the cells and triangles:

• An even spread results in more or less equal size of all shapes
• A centered spread results in more, smaller shapes at the center, and larger shapes at the edges of the maze. Like a city plan.

You can set the complexity of the maze-path as well, ranging to fairly straight to wildly meandering. In addition to that, there are different options for the start and end points.

Finally you can set the line width and color, passage width, background color, and customize the start and end points, either using letters or images.

Last but not least, you can create Instant Puzzle Books with Mazes.

Optional Add-Ons:

Time Saver Add-on for Mazes 2D – Create a puzzle book with different Mazes 2D variations, several grid sizes and difficulty levels. Use different page layouts, ranging from 1×1 to 10×10.

Note: This module will not work with the Masks Add-On for Mazes 2D.
