minotaur 0.3.0

Usage

./target/release/minotaur --help
minotaur 0.3.0
Jonathan Stites <mail@jonstites.com>
A command-line program for generating mazes.

USAGE:
    minotaur [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -a, --algorithm <algorithm>
            Maze generating algorithm [default: AldousBroder]  [possible values: BinaryTree,
            Sidewinder, AldousBroder, Wilsons, HuntAndKill, RecursiveBacktracker]
    -x, --width <width>                          Maze width in number of cells [default: 5]
    -y, --height <height>                        Maze height in number of cells [default: 5]
        --background-color <background-color>    Background color when saving to an image file [default: #FFFFFF]
        --cell-size <cell-size>                  Cell size when saving to an image file [default: 10]
    -i, --input <input>                          Input file of ".mz" stored from a previous run
    -o, --output <output>
            Output file. Can be ".png" for an image, ".mz" to store the maze inself for later loading, otherwise, saves
            as ASCII art [default: /dev/stdout]
    -s, --seed <seed>                            Seed for random number generator
        --wall-color <wall-color>                Wall color when saving to an image file [default: #000000]
        --wall-size <wall-size>                  Wall size when saving to an image file [default: 1]
