> the mazes from this site are not free to use for commercial purposes. If you are planning to use them in something you will sell, you need to get a commercial license. There are already several online maze generator whose output is free for commercial use. What's so special about this one?

Doesn't have to be special, the creator just wants to be compensated if you're using it for commercial use. You're free to go to other creators if you want.

No, you'll have to exercise your own CPU I'm afraid!

Your readme is pretty thin on information. How do I even run this? How can I configure the parameters?

A kind soul contributed an update to the README---basically the output of `cargo run --bin maze-maker -- --help.

I guess today's lesson is: do promote your personal project even when it's semi-arsed, because people on the Internet are mostly kind and will help you improve your documentation!

This, I presume, it's the perfect opportunity to promote my own maze generator[1], which incidentally is a Real Application that you can run on your own computer, and the output of which you own! Like the linked application, it supports triangular, rectangular and hexagonal grids, and different generation algorithms, which can be combined for various areas of the final maze. It also supports background and mask image…

Basic question: What would be the simplest way to "digitize" one of these mazes i.e. turn them into a programmable data structure (2D array, matrix, etc.) for example to use as input into a maze solver/RL demo?

The main application is actually a thin wrapper around a library that does exactly that, so the best way would be to not perform the final step of turning the data structure into an image.

A friend of mine does coding live streams on Twitch. It's pleasantly surprising how many randos (who become internet friends) will help out with your projects.

What are the methods available?

I'd love to see a screenshot before downloading/installing.

Looks like "braid", "clear", "branching", or "winding" https://github.com/moses-palmer/labyru/blob/master/maze/src/...

Yeah, I was hoping the `clap` macros would perform some unthinkable magic there... I will have to update the help with a listing.

In the mean time, have a look here[1] for the possible values.
