Worlds Smallest Simplest Maze Generator (PSP misc)

This PSP program is a Maze Generator routine written in a few lines. The readme says:

Yes folks, this is the world’s smallest and simplest maze generator. The algorithm is only 3-5 lines of code! I originally invented the algorithm when I was in elementary school and I thought maybe someone out there can appreciate how simple algorithms can actually create complex patterns. Think of it as fractal for mazes or mandelbrot for mazes, where a simple formula can generate complex patterns.

Note that the font affects the look of the maze, so get a font that has slashes that extends to the corners. The default PSP one leaves gaps. Tilt your PSP slightly for common viewing angle. Re-runthe program for another maze. Source is included.

Breakout (02-08-2005) (A2600 Game)

belial has updated his Breakout game for the Atari 2600. Release notes:

Okay, here is now the final version of my arkanoid clone. I dont think i will continue working on it, its rather complete. The only thing left is paddle support, but i have at the moment problems implementing this. The game itself contains 10 levels, has some sound, etc… I wasnt able to play it with stella, becoz stella thinks its NTSC, i dont know why. But on real atari 2600 or with z26 it worked fine. If some people are interested, i can code a level editor to load new levels into the bin file. Let me know your opinions about the final game and if u want a level editor.
