Understanding Eller’s Algorithm

Explore Eller's algorithm to understand its unique approach to maze generation. Learn how it efficiently builds mazes by processing one row at a time, linking cells while managing cell sets, and combining strategies from Sidewinder and Kruskal’s algorithms to avoid biases and loops. This lesson guides you through creating connected, loop-free mazes with this clever technique.

Background

So many algorithms! From the Binary Tree and Sidewinder to Kruskal’s and Prim’s and Growing Tree, we’ve learned a lot about the different methods of generating random mazes. If we’re counting Dijkstra’s, there are 11 in total. ...
