A demonstration program, which generates and solves mazes using three different algorithms.

The program generates mazes using three standard algorithms: Depth-first search, Prim's algorithm, and Kruskal's algorithm.

The Show Gen option will allow you to watch the construction process. Use the scrollbar below the option to control the generation speed.
Similarly, the Show Solve option will display the process of solving the maze, and it too has a scrollbar for speed control.
The Backtracks option controls the display of dead-end paths, where the solver backs up.
The Cycle button will loop the program indefinitely, generating and solving mazes using the current settings.

NOTE: This applet will not run properly using Microsoft's fine Internet Explorer 4 browser, if Explorer's Java JIT compiler is turned on. To turn it off, select Views from the menu bar, then Options (or Internet Options) from the pull-down. Select the Advanced tab, then look for a checkbox with the label Java JIT compiler enabled. Uncheck the box and select OK.
