This is meant as an LCD monitor wallpaper (1280x1024).

The "Maz" project of mine can finally be laid to rest. As with most monotonous tasks, this one was finally solved with software. When my other, imperfect, hand-drawn "Maz" WIP was nearing completion, I came across a piece of freeware called "DAEDALUS." With it, I generated a "Unicursal" maze, only instead of having errors and compromises in it, it's perfect. Also, I toned down the colors a bit (from bright blue on black, to gray on gray) so it doesn't inspire headaches in the viewer except at the closest views.

Fool co-workers and family alike into thinking you have a static gray background wallpaper, until upon closer inspection they realize it's a crazy maze!

:)

Credit for Daedalus goes to its author. Search "Think Labyrinth" on Google if you're interested in seeing the program.

I'd like to see the one you hand-made unless you canned it XD No sense letting such hard work go to waste, eh?

Bleh, I did can it. I was upset that I wasted so much time on it, but what can we say. Such is life. Now it's perfect.

If anything, I learned to work smarter. Not harder.

Aww, but the reason I liked the original one was the fact that it was such an absurd thing done by hand!

So absurd in fact that even I realized it was absurd.
It would be like banging your head against a brick wall a thousand times for the purpose of giving yourself a concussion, instead of doing it the easy way. With a program.

I think.

More like banging your head into a giant block of stone to make a sculpture. Silly, yes, but damn, that's commitment.
