Maze Generation with the Aldous-Broder Wall-Adding Method

Designing procedural mazes requires a solid grasp of graph theory and randomized algorithms. This course guides you through the unique wall-adding adaptation of the classic Aldous-Broder algorithm. You will transition from understanding basic grid representations to writing clean, structured code that builds complex mazes by linking and unlinking cells. Learn the foundational graph theory and probability concepts behind the Aldous-Broder algorithm. Represent 2D grids, cells, and boundaries using modern programming structures and type hints. Apply the wall-adding technique to systematically construct maze pathways by managing cell links. Analyze the performance, bias, and uniform spanning tree properties of random walk algorithms. Implement clean, modular code with basic testing patterns to verify your maze-generation logic. We begin with core definitions of grids and graph traversals before diving into the mechanics of random walks. You will then read through step-by-step explanations of the wall-adding logic, complete with code walkthroughs and text-based debugging exercises. Designed for beginner developers and game programming enthusiasts with basic coding knowledge, this text-only guide requires no advanced mathematics.
