Exercise: Shuffled 2D Mazes
Explore how to render 2D mazes by shuffling their rows and assigning colors to create a more challenging puzzle. Understand how to visually represent north-south connections using colored dots while maintaining the maze's structure. This lesson helps you implement a rendering function that randomizes row order and uses color coding to aid in navigating the maze despite the shuffled layout.

Point to ponder
The top-down floorplan we've used for 2D mazes is an intuitive way to display them, but it's not the only way. In fact, we can make the puzzle much harder to solve simply by changing how we render it. What if we were to turn a 2D maze into a sequence of shuffled 1D grids?
