A Python wrapper of the Daedalus maze generator. This project is currently built against version 3.2 of the Daedalus software.

Quickstart

Install:

pip install pydaedalus

Getting started:

>>> from daedalus import Maze
>>> maze = Maze(63, 63)
>>> maze.create_perfect()
>>> maze.resize(31, 61)
>>> maze.create_perfect()
>>> maze.save_bitmap('test.bmp')
>>> maze.save_text('test.txt')

A Maze can be treated as a 2D array of Bools (walls are True and passages are False), or as a container of lists of ints (walls are 1 and passages are 0):

>>> maze.width, maze.height
(31, 61)
>>> maze[0,0]
True
>>> maze[1,1]
False
>>> maze[1,2]
False
>>> maze[1,3]
False
>>> maze[1]
[1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0, 0, 0, 1]
>>> len(maze)
61

Take a look at demo.ipynb to see visualisations of some of the kinds of Mazes Daedalus can create.

Requirements

• Python 2.7, or 3.3+,
• A C++ compiler with C++11 support (GCC 4.7+, clang 3.3+).

Development Notes

To compile the Cython extension:
