NAME

maze - an automated X11 demo repeatedly creating and solving a random maze

SYNOPSIS

maze [-display host:display.screen] [-foreground color] [-background color] [-window] [-root] [-install] [-visual visual] [-grid-size pixels] [-live-color color] [-dead-color color] [-solve-delay usecs] [-pre-delay usecs] [-post-delay usecs]

DESCRIPTION

The maze program creates a "random" maze and then solves it with graphical feedback.

OPTIONS

maze accepts the following options:

-window

Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.

-root

Draw on the root window.

-install

Install a private colormap for the window.

-visual visual

Specify which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.

-grid-size pixels

The size of each block of the maze, in pixels; default is 0, meaning pick a random grid size.

-live-color color

The color of the path.

-dead-color color

The color of the failed path (it is also stippled with a 50% pattern.)

-solve-delay integer

Delay (in microseconds) between each step of the solution path. Default 5000, or about 1/200th second.

-pre-delay integer

Delay (in microseconds) between generating a maze and starting to solve it. Default 2000000 (2 seconds.)

-post-delay integer

Delay (in microseconds) after solving a maze and before generating a new one. Default 4000000 (4 seconds.)

Clicking the mouse in the maze window controls it.

LeftButton

Clears the window and restarts maze.

MiddleButton

Pause or unpause the program.

RightButton

Exit.

BUGS

Expose events force a restart of maze.

Mouse actions are based on "raw" values (Button1, Button2 and Button3) instead of using the pointer map.

ENVIRONMENT

DISPLAY

to get the default host and display number.

XENVIRONMENT

to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
