Maze Puzzle
The Maze Puzzle program displays a randomly generated maze with only one path through it. The entry to the maze is indicated by a red triangle and the exit by a green triangle.
As well as solving the maze, the player is given practice in controlling the movement of the mouse.
To start solving the maze, click on the red triangle with the left mouse button and, while holding the button down, drag the mouse pointer through the path of the maze to the green triangle, when the button should be released. As the pointer is moved, its path is traced by a blue line.
If the mouse button is released before the trace reaches the green triangle, the trace will disappear and the player must start again from the red triangle.
If the mouse button is released in the green triangle, the blue trace remains. The player is congratulated and invited to try another maze. If another maze is not selected, the program terminates.
If the player tries to cross the boundary lines of the maze, the trace is not drawn and the mouse must be dragged back to where the trace ended. The mouse button should not be released, as the whole trace will then disappear.
