Add a python interpreter. Let me code-solve it. haha!

What's an open source python interpreter you can add in this case?

Cool concept but when you see the maze being generated you get to see the path drawn between start and finish right in front of you? So it's less of a maze and more of a memory exercise to me

Love the idea! Execution could be much better: 1. Don't make people watch the generation of the maze. Why on god's green earth do I need to wait a full minute to play the game? It takes less time to solve the maze. 2. Allow for random matchmaking 3. Let me hold down a directional key to move multiple steps in the same direction. Feels like a lot of button mashing without this functionality. Hope to see this grow!

Thank you so much for the feedback!

This was ok but as a single player the maze generated was mostly about wasting the user's time rather than make the player make significant choices; Red herrings need to be more challenging imho. Also having to press multiple time to head in the same direction was painful. Quit took me to localhost:3000 ;)

Appreciate the feedback :D.

I would like it if the arrow keys worked, in addition to WASD, and if holding a key down would continue to move the avatar. That said, nice project!

Thank you for the feedback :D.

I find GTFO to be rather awkward, requiring two hands on the keyboard.
