The Pragmatic Bookshelf (
https://pragprog.com/) is have a 40% off ebooks (turkeysale2017) and I noticed there is a book about how to make mazes with a variety of algorithms:

Very niche interest but I thought I would throw this out there.

Mazes for programmers, you say?

Falken's alive!
And flying pterodactyl RC planes.
Love that movie. Very 80s.
That made me wonder if anyone has engineered a maze creation system with dice rolls -- kinda like the dungeon gen in the DMG. It shouldn't be all that hard (said a non-programmer).

Just got the physical copy of the book today. I also just noticed the free excerpt goes into how to use a binary tree algorithm to generate a maze with a coin:

I've been meaning to look at the DMG section to see how it does it's thing.
