; A maze generation/solution program.

; This program generates an 80x25 maze and directly draws the maze on the

; want to display it on the video screen.

ToScreen	equ	0


; Maximum X and Y coordinates for the maze (matching the display).

; The following are the directions the demons can go in the maze

; Some important variables:


; The Maze array must contain an extra row and column around the
; outside edges for our algorithm to work properly.

Maze		word	(MaxYCoord+2) dup ((MaxXCoord+2) dup (Wall))

; The follow macro computes an index into the above array assuming

; The following macro computes an index into the screen array, using the
; same assumptions as above.  Note that the screen matrix is 80x25 whereas
; the maze matrix is 82x27;  The X/Y coordinates in DL/DH are 1..80 and

; CanStart- This function checks around the current position

;
; If "*" is current position and "#" represent wall characters

; ection.  Assuming "." represents a tunnel, you cannot start

; SetDir- Changes the current direction.  The maze digging algorithm has

;
; If the demon is going north or south, a direction change causes the demon
; to go east or west.  Likewise, if the demon is going east or west, a
; direction change forces it to go north or south.  If the demon cannot
; change directions (because it cannot move in the new direction for one
; reason or another), SetDir returns without doing anything.  If a direction
; change is possible, then SetDir selects a new direction.  If there is only
; one possible new direction, the demon is sent off in that direction.
