Actually I was just sharing it as a fun little thing - part of me learning C#.

But since 100% of the comments are "Please give us all your work for free, and
by the way if you could sit down and translate it into platforms you don't use
that would be swell", I am inclined to tell you all to go pound sand.

Sorry, but I have been unemployed since January and could have used just one
person saying "cool idea, you've got something there" - rather than this.

Sorry if I came across that way. I was merely answering the question of 
"how easy is it to run under Mono."  I should have said "one can ..." 
instead of "you can."

FWIW, I love mazes. I even did an animated maze with reflective floor 
and wobbly high-IOR walls you could walk around in with arrow keys. (All 
pre-rendered, with a little front end to show the appropriate motions.)

I'm not sure what better algorithm you could post other than the source. 
It looked easy enough to understand without needing to be translated 
into any other language.  (Now, if you'd written it in Haskell or 
something... ;-)

I'm sorry to hear that I sympathise as I've had similar periods of
unemployment. As for the programme I did not download it because I
don't often install exectuables from the internet. That might be one
of the problems.
