The maze package

The maze package can generate random square mazes of a specified size.

Basic Usage

The package provides one generator command and two storage commands.

   \maze {⟨size⟩}[⟨seed⟩]
   \mazesave {⟨name⟩} {⟨size⟩}[⟨seed⟩]
   \mazeuse [⟨view⟩] {⟨name⟩}

Use \mazesave to generate a maze once and store the rendered result under a name, together with a solved version of the same maze. Later, use \mazeuse with the same name to typeset that exact maze again, or use \mazeuse[solution]{...} to show the stored solution overlay.

You can read the package manual for some explanations.
