One thing that might remove some of it would be to use my later unit-square
patterns (Pig3, Pig3 rotate 90*y) since they don't have the left/bottom bias
of the tiles I used in the first example.  None of my attempts repeat, btw.

I have to be honest: crackle solid metric 1 has some problems.  It doesn't
seem to do very well for a certain range of numbers, but I haven't stopped
to determine what that range is.  That's why the translate 20.

Finally, I leave you all with yet another maze pattern, of sorts. This is
an adaptation of an idea I first saw on the Commodore VIC 20 years and years
ago, and is the basic idea behind my second and third tries at the maze code:

#declare S=seed(12346);#declare Y=0;#while(Y<20)#declare X=0;#while(X<50)
#if (rand(S)<.5)#debug"/"#else#debug"\\"#end#declare X=X+1;#end#debug"\n"
#declare Y=Y+1;#end

These are my opinions.  I do NOT speak for the POV-Team.
