HJG 2013-02-22 A WebMaze is a maze of webpages, with links pointing to other pages of the maze. Each such page is quite simple, but creating/maintaining all the links by hand would be hard/errorprone/boring.
So I wrote a program that creates such a set of webpages. This one is quite simple, as it uses a hardcoded 3x3 maze:
7 - 6 - 5
! ! !
X <- 8 - 9 - 4
- ! !
3 - 2 - 1 <- 0
0: Entry=index.html 1=first room 2,3: dead end
4,5,6,7: correct path 8:last room X:Exit=start.html
9:Trap (can be reached from rooms 2,4,6,8)The entry- and exit-pages (here 0 and X) are 'outside', i.e. not part of the maze.
The trap is a set of rooms with links that only point to other traps.
One way to use this, is to 'hide' some part of a website (or all of it :)
E.g. the standard index.html redirects to the first maze-page, and the maze-exit-page points to the 'real' homepage, e.g. start.html.
