There are no other two characters in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PETSCII PETSCII] data set that, when substituted for our "\" and "/", will result in the construction of a traditional orthogonal maze. Vertical and horizontal bars, for example, result in a disconnected weave, while solid and empty squares result in rough static. | There are no other two characters in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PETSCII PETSCII] data set that, when substituted for our "\" and "/", will result in the construction of a traditional orthogonal maze.

One of the most intuitive methods of constructing a maze-grid is to take an approach like graph paper, using four characters to signify either a top-wall, bottom-wall, left-wall or right-wall for each cell on the grid. Such characters exist in PETSCII in both "thick" and "thin" variants. Such a process is unfortunately less elegant, as these characters are never placed continuously in the PETSCII character set, and so cannot be addressed with a simple offset. | One of the most intuitive methods of constructing a maze-grid is to take an approach like graph paper, using four characters to signify either a top-wall, bottom-wall, left-wall or right-wall for each cell on the grid.
