Specifications:

RIAmaze generates random mazes up to: 200 x 895 / 895 x 200 (rectangular) or 445 x 445 (square) (*) with an adjustable path length. Each generated maze is shown as overview and as knitting and so forth pattern. Both can be saved in png format.
Intellectual property: a visual watermark generator is used to autofill each maze, independent of width and height.

(*) The sizes of the mazes are valid for the recommended Flash Player 10. In case the older Flash Player 9 is used, the maximum maze size is limited to 310 x 310 pixel. This is due to bitmap constraints in Flash Player 9.

Rich Internet aspects of RIAmaze:

• the generation of mazes takes place on the client side (within the Flash Player) with the following advantages (**):
  • no processing on the server side;
  • the maximum number of simultaneous users is not limited by the server;
  • the processing speed depends on the clients processor;
  • generated mazes can be stored directly from the Flash Player to the harddisk, no download necessary.
• fast user feedback:
  The maze generator immediately corrects input values that exceed the maximum maze dimensions and gives feedback messages to the user.

(**) valid for the recommended Flash Player 10. In case the older Flash Player 9 is used, generated mazes can only be saved by uploading them to the server first and downloading them as png.
