Title: CHALLENGE: Maze
Post by: Virmir on March 05, 2012, 01:07:58 PM
I will draw a full colored doodle of up to 3 characters including a background (if you like) for the first person to post a solution to this.

(http://art.by.virmir.com/i/thumb/maze.png) (http://art.by.virmir.com/art/maze)

I recommend printing it out, doing it in pencil, then going over the correct path in red pen and scanning it. Or you could just open it up in an image editor and draw over the top.  I spent some time going over the solution I have and fixed up some blemishes and unclear spots, so I know for sure you can solve it.

Solutions must be posted in this thread here.

Good luck! [;)

Okay, so I tried. I'm the kind of person who works mazes backwards. However, about sixty seconds (at most) into the attempt, I realized just how massive this maze is.

This is CRUEL, VIRMIR. I thought you said you weren't evil!

Fortunately, I've been working on an urban politics essay all day. THIS IS AN ACCEPTABLE DISTRACTION!

I guess I should probably hold off on posting the 30 page one... *shifts eyes* [;)

This is a very chaotic neutral thing to do. [;) (Chaotic as in extreme disruptive organization.)

Yes, "I know for sure you can solve it" means that you can solve it. [;)

I have the solution I made 12 years ago still. I'll compare solutions posted with that.

I might have screwed up, some parts of the maze weren't very clear, but I tried my best with what I had

So, for statistical reference...
How many of you didn't notice that the "Download Hi Res" link in gallery gives you really, really, REALLY big and mostly redable picture? ;)

The more kudos, then, for being first despite playing at Extra Hard mode... {:)

I fought with it yesterday trying to find just what page/file to print before stumbling upon that solution.  Still, I wish I could make it bigger >.>

Well bully. I wanted to solve it, but I was too late to the punch. Then again, I do not really have the time.

And a thirty page one?

Interesting.

So, Rawr wins it. [;)

It looks like you took one tiny unnecessary detour in the lower left, but the rest is spot on. It's cool seeing this match the solution I drew up 12 years ago, he he he. (With a much crappier scanner and printer. [;)) You can see circled spots on the page for unclear areas I wanted to fix.  Only took me 12 years to get around to it. [;)

I have a few more, icluding yes, a very large one (30 pages is an estamate), though none of them have lines this small. This one was pretty much my "final" maze, though I kinda want to draw another now... [;)
