[font=arial]Day 8[/font]



I have not reported for about a week. I was spending all of my time refactoring, breaking, and fixing the code. That's why there were no visible progresses to report. But after that, I added the ability to find the solution. Figure 16 is a sample without the solution.

Figure (16)

If you have time, please try solving. Note that this is a 2-D maze, so no crossing over or under is allowed, although some places may look like bridges.

If you need to see the solution, please click here.

P.S.
Since I see a lot of number "88" in the maze, I might rename "Hexadecagon Maze" to "88 Maze". What do you think?

I like it, its a little hard to follow with eyes alone, although that may be to do with the image being squished a bit to fit into the post.

dsm1891:

Thank you for trying out. I agree the one shown (figure 16) is a little hard to follow. If you click on the image it becomes slightly larger but only slightly. The best is to solve on paper. I'm currently working on adding a print command.

I was able to do it, but it's very hard on the eyes. It's almost like trying to solve a maze while looking at an optical illusion. I think if you were able to fill in the hexagonal circles with a different shade of color it would be easier on the eyes.

Thomas: I'm glad you liked it. I put some more here.

Slayemin: Thanks for the suggestion. Please see my Day 9 post.

I think it being hard to follow is part of the challenge. I tried and after like 15 minutes had to look at the cheat sheet. I was on the right track!

Nice work! =) solved it without looking at the solution. Used the cursor to follow the path =)

zebrakiller: Thank you for providing an alternative viewpoint. I'm inclined to call it a feature and move onto my next project.
O-san: I'm glad you could solve it on screen. This one was one of the most difficult maze at the highest level, which I hand-picked from a group of 30 or so mazes, so the rest definitely should be solvable.
