Wait a minute... I recognize that unicursal maze... That's 0404-01C-422! Well, actually, it's the derivative of that maze (derivative pair #01H). Or it could be the undetermined equivalent, 0404-00C-334243! That would make more sense, considering the person is likely the starting point and is walking towards the statue. Very Nice! How did you make that, by the way?

I decided to map out the maze just to see what its official designation would be as an Inverted Derivative Determined. Granted, I don't do a lot with inverted mazes (where the start point and end point are switched) or derivates, for that matter, but I thought that it would be fun. Anyway, it would be "ID-0404-01H-33-C." I should start investing more time into studying inverted mazes...

every maze is generated in runtime using a recursive depth-first search. try fiddling with the width and height, it sets random start and end points. some configurations have no solutions, try anything at the minimum width or length.

@asterion this script might interest you: https://daliwali.neocities.org/documents/maze-solver.js <- backtracking DFS unicursal maze solver. time complexity to find all solutions is extremely bad: O(4^(n^2)) which i don't think can be improved, it could only be made to run faster, maybe with AVX-512 or a GPU compute shader.

Really disappointed in neocities for banning divinicide and omnipresence. Itβs sad to see this site also has powertripping mods who cave to neo-twitter pressure. I hope they can return soon.

This episode made me realise that I underestimated how much noncon content there's on Neocities. But my gut instinct is not to try to get them or other vulgar content banned, because I believe in the mission of this website. Hopefully he'll get a second chance.

It does keep me up at night, this dark metamorphosis, this "tyranny for the good of its victims" as C.S Lewis spoke of. Regardless of the fate of brother Divinicide, I worry for the destiny of the modern man, his dependancy on guidelines and control. The prophets, jesters and dreamers have rapidly transformed into the forms of rigid workmen and technocratic machines.

Your obsession with noncon, reddit, and bluesky is so weird. I tried to ease your minds with the truth, that no organization would stand by a customer signaling for rape of ANYONE by their REAL NAME on a URL with said company's name in it, but truth doesn't matter to you LARPers, only the ability to feel persecuted inside your bedroom after a nice meal. Bye, enjoy reminiscing over reddit as old men on your deathbeds.

This dude is obsessed enough to make 3-4 throwaway accounts on an obscure platform, to comment on profiles with under 10 followers, after snitching on an obscure website on a platform you don't even use (allegedly). I think you're projecting sir.
Jippity has no clue on how to make the code run meaningfully faster. what it produced is micro-optimized and less readable. for 1 million runs using the default arguments, my code runs in 940ms, jippity's version runs in 874ms. geppato can not generate a significantly faster solution, because none is in its training set.
Even Jippity's suggestions to prune the search space do not actually work, it's more costly to check Manhattan distance per iteration than the dead ends it avoids. Geppato's version is actually slower for larger grids, just changing from 3x3 to 6x6 and 100 runs, mine takes 14.1s while Geppato's version took 18.8s.
