About

Virtual Maze Book 2.0.1 is a maze generator by Robert Schenk, released in 1997 as a free upgrade to the earlier Maze Book Lite. Although it can solve mazes on screen, the program's real strength is producing high-quality printed mazes - the same engine Schenk used to design two maze books published by Dover.From Maze Book Lite to 2.0.1The original Lite release in May 1997 shipped with two limited maze-generation methods. Version 2.0.1 adds a more robust algorithm intended to give enough variety to satisfy all but the most rabid maze fans, according to the author's own Info-Mac upload notes.Built for paper, not just pixelsSchenk emphasises that Virtual Maze Book was designed primarily for printing rather than on-screen play. Bundled specialised maze fonts allow the mazes to render at full printer resolution, which is what made the program practical as a typesetting tool for his Dover collections.Free version and upgradesThe Info-Mac release is the free edition. Instructions for upgrading to a more complex commercial version of the package are included in the readme.
