Homeworks thread

The Task
Produce a random ASCII maze generator.
The program's source must look like the maze that is generated by seeding its randomiser^{(or whatever generation method is used)} with a value relative to a distinct property of the source (for instance, the number of characters in the source file). This property must be specified.

'Must look like' means non-whitespace^{(easy mode: [^a-zA-Z0-9_])} characters are treated as 'walls'. The source must also be the same size as its maze.

Extension
Produce an efficient (not brute-force) solver for this generator. Its source must look like the route found for the maze generated using the same distinct property of either source.


Post other easy^{(too easy to bother solving)} homework problems here!

Poor show, friend.

>>2
None of those are programs
>>3
I don't care about this being solved

>>4
Actually, those are all programs.

>>2
This is the reason I don't program anymore.

Everything I can think of doing that might be even slightly fun.. has already been done by someone.

>>6
You don't have a lot of imagination.

>>6
Yeah? Where's that /prog/ visual novel, then?

>>6
Yeah? Where's the automatic HMA poster, then?

>>6
find a prime number larger than 2¹⁰¹²². that hasn't been done by anyone.

>>8-9
those have both already been done.

>>11
The visual novel was started but never finished. Those mock-up screenshots are the only things that exist.

>>1
easy
I don't see how this is particularly easy. Maze generation and solving are quite simply but arranging the source in the same maze generated would take days of preprocessor debugging.

>>13
I'm going to go out on a limb and say YHBT. Maybe >>1 was making fun of /prog/ being considered an intermediate programming community.

>>1

I completed the maze generation and the solver, trying to get the fucking thing into the same sized maze as it produces... Fucking hell this is hard. I'm probably going to give up soon.

>>15
COMPLETE MY ANUS

>>12
maybe we should finish it

/prog/ POWER PROGRAMERS TO THE RESCUE!

>>13
Just write it in befunge.
