Latest Update I found the description on twitter by the user @pugfuglygames You have a empty map with columns spread into a grid pattern. Each column then extend into 1 of four directions. This then should create the map. There can be areas created that are blocked. A flood fill check or manual seed selection can sort this.

Jayenkai	Reminds me of.. 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10 > Reveal 🔎 or in JSE .. Mode 0,"C64" 10 WRITE CHR$ (205.5+RND (1)): WAIT 0.01: GOTO 10 --v I've always found it tricky to do walled mazes like that, with my Array mentality. I prefer "Block I can walk through or not" to "Wall on the edge of the block" To this day, I still find it hard to do the collisions with between-grid wall stuff.

Pakz	These walls are regular array cell blocks. The spacing is just wide. I think the character could be larger letting the walls look like those edge maze walls. In that maze programmers book there were these edge wall mazes. I stil do not understand how to convert these to regular arrays blocks.
