The first maze program I read/wrote was just a random continuous printout
of "/" and "\" characters.
they look best in a fixed pitch... No guarantee it's solvable though.
like this:

Could I get some explanations from here, about mazes...
I heard about it a couple of times, but cannot figure out what
does it exactly means.

This reminds me of a post I made quite a while back. I seemed to recall this
type of curve was called a "Dragon" curve, hence the title of the image. It
turned out this is not what it's called, but I can't remember what the real
name is now. Anyone out there remember what this curve is called?
The difference I see between your curves and mine are that mine don't have
crossovers. I hope there's enough detail on this to recognise the technique.
I rendereded it for my 1280x1024 desktop and had to shrink it to a
reasonable size for posting.

Truchet tiling. There are randomly rotated and positioned tiles
containing segments of the curve that connect with each other. At least
I think that's what he did, but that's what a Truchet tiling is.

I did a search on Truchet and found, among other things, this page:
http://www.itgoesboing.com/Presentations/SIGGRAPH99Sketch/3.html
Huff's layered tiles in the 99.1 image made me wonder, if the system
would work in 3D as well.
It does, but as you can see in the attachment, it does get a little
confusing to look at. Using a reflecting texture doesn't help, I
suppose.
BTW, the Dragon curve is a fractal thingie. See

Yes, perhaps I should throw in a couple of Utah teapots.
I have made a spherical panorama version of the image (without teapots),
just to make it look even more confusing. You can see it at my web
gallery: http://home4.inet.tele.dk/ibras/truchet.htm (You will need
Netscape 4.x or IE 4 or newer to view it. Netscape 6.1 doesn't like the
Zoom java applet.)

Nice! I love playing with those applet thingies. I think I've just been
hypnotised though! I've seriously gone dizzy! ;))
