Abstract
Maze generation algorithms play a significant role in video games with mazes. Most of the existing methods focus on improving the performance of nonuniform maze creation algorithms. However, generating different mazes with equal probability through uniform algorithms is crucial to increase the user’s gaming experience. In this paper, we develop a hybrid of two uniform maze generation algorithms, Aldous-Broder and Wilson, by alternating between the two at some critical running phase to reduce the execution time. We tested several turning points and analyzed the results. The experimental data shows that the performance is better compared to either algorithm by itself when the percentage of visited cells reaches a specific value.
