Mazes are everywhere. From psychology experiments involving mice to robotics demonstrations to movies, video games, books, and puzzles, we all encounter mazes at some point or other in our lives. Working with mazes is like going on a voyage of discovery where you never know quite what you’ll find when you crest the next hill.

In this course, you’re going to look at ideas to inspire you and learn to generate your own mazes. After taking this course, you’ll have taken your existing knowledge of software engineering and applied it to generating puzzles in a variety of shapes and sizes. You’ll make mazes out of squares, circles, triangles, hexagons, cylinders and cubes, spheres, and even Möbius strips. You’ll stretch them into other dimensions, squeeze them into arbitrary outlines, weave them, braid them, print them, and fold them. You will discover yourself brimming with ideas and hopefully find inspiration to tackle the programmer’s block, burnout, and gray days.
