The geometry

The Hexagonal-Square-Triangle 1 maze is woven from three different shapes at once — hexagons, squares, and triangles fitted together into a single semi-regular tiling. That mixture gives every junction a different number of exits depending on which cell you are standing in, producing a layout with more rhythm and surprise than any single-shape grid.

How it works

Because hexagons offer up to six ways out, squares four, and triangles three, this combined tiling constantly changes the solving cadence as paths cross between cell types. The compiled C/C++ engine carves the three-shape grid with the recursive backtracker and renders each clean edge — round-ish hex, crisp square, sharp triangle — accurately at 300 DPI. You retain full control over size, wall colour, background, and line width so the busy mixed geometry stays legible at any scale.

Who it's for

For KDP publishers, the three-in-one tiling is an easy way to make a puzzle book feel premium and varied — a single page shows off more geometric interest than a whole chapter of square mazes. Educators use it to demonstrate semi-regular tessellations where several regular polygons share the plane. Game designers borrow the mixed grid for richly textured level maps.
