[maze-circular] Circular Maze Puzzle

[MarkusNeusinger]

Description

A circular maze made of concentric rings with passages between them. Entry point on outer edge, goal at center.

Applications

• Printable puzzle generation
• Decorative maze art
• Game level design
• Educational activities

Data

• rings (integer) - Number of concentric rings (5-10)
• difficulty (string) - Easy/medium/hard
• Algorithmically generated with single solution

Notes

• Concentric circular walls
• Radial passages between rings
• Entry on outer edge, goal at center
• Guaranteed solvable path
• Print-friendly black and white design

✅ Spec ID: maze-circular

Rationale: A circular/radial maze variant distinct from the existing rectangular maze-printable spec - featuring concentric rings with radial passages instead of grid-based walls.

Add label approved to begin generation.

maze-circular: Circular Maze Puzzle

Description

A circular maze puzzle visualization featuring concentric rings connected by radial passages. Unlike rectangular mazes, this design creates a unique solving experience where the player navigates inward through ring-shaped corridors. The maze has an entry point on the outer edge and a goal at the center, with algorithmically generated walls ensuring exactly one solvable path.

Applications

• Printable puzzle sheets with a distinctive circular aesthetic
• Decorative maze art for posters, coasters, or wall prints
• Game level design for maze-based video games or apps
• Educational activities teaching spatial reasoning and problem-solving

Data

• rings (int) - Number of concentric rings (recommended: 5-10)
• difficulty (string) - Difficulty level affecting passage density: "easy", "medium", or "hard"
• seed (int, optional) - Random seed for reproducible maze generation
• Size: More rings and higher difficulty increase complexity
• Example: 7 rings with medium difficulty, entry at outer edge, goal at center

Notes

• Concentric circular walls form ring-shaped corridors
• Radial walls divide each ring into sectors
• Radial passages connect adjacent rings at strategic points
• Entry point clearly marked on the outer perimeter
• Goal/finish clearly marked at the center
• Maze generation algorithm must guarantee exactly one solution
• Black walls on white background for print-friendly output
• Wall thickness should be consistent and suitable for pen/pencil solving
