A whole bunch of Mazes written in BASIC and C programming language. We explore the "Recursive Backtracker" algorithm and the "Recursive Division" algorithm and their implementation on the Commodore 64. In addition, you can see some Maze Art with some cool visual effects.
This video is inspired by the "Back to Basic" video and his BASIC code for creating mazes on the C64.

I ♥ Mazes!
