With Standard and Shaped Mazes 2D it’s never been easier to make fun and challenging mazes

You can create just 1 or 10 or 100’s of mazes, and indeed create an entire puzzle book interior with one button click. This Standard and Shaped Mazes 2D version offers both shaped and rectangular mazes, shapes based on your own clipart.

If you’re publishing puzzles on your website, publishing puzzle books on KDP, selling printables, or need unique content for your website or social media, Puzzle Maker Pro –Standard and Shaped Mazes 2D will help you achieve your goals. Whether you need just one puzzle for your website, or 100’s for a sudoku puzzle book, this is the most flexible and customizable sudoku software available anywhere.

Ease of Use

Puzzle Maker Pro may seem overwhelming at first, but it’s really easy to use:

• Open up the Shape Editor, and import the clipart you want to use. This can be a silhouette, or a regular colored image – All non transparent or non-white color will be part of the shape.
• Click “Use Mask”, and you’ll see a preview right away

But there’s more:

• You can control the path-finding algorithm, creating easy and straight or complex meandering mazes.
• You can set the ‘wall width’ and the ‘door size’ (or passage width) to create unique customized mazes.
• You can click on the maze to set the start and end points, or to select our unique ‘longest path’ algorithm.
• You can even set the wall width and door size to random, creating a chaotic and wild look and feel.

By using the Preview button, you can see the maze with your chosen style settings right away.

Like any Puzzle Maker Pro module, Standard and Shaped Mazes 2D will create the puzzles and solutions as image files (JPG or PNG) at 300 DPI on your computer. Lightning fast.
