## What it is
A C++ command-line tool that generates mazes of various shapes (rectangular, hexagonal, honeycomb, circular, triangular) and arbitrary sizes using graph theory algorithms like Kruskal's, DFS, BFS, Prim's, and loop-erased random walk. Mazes are rendered as SVG or PNG (via gnuplot) output files.

## Use cases
- generate mazes of arbitrary size
- create hexagonal or circular mazes
- generate maze images in svg or png
- generate mazes with different algorithms like Kruskal or Prim
- create puzzle mazes for games or print

## When to choose
- you need mazes in non-rectangular shapes like hexagonal, honeycomb, or circular
- you want a fast offline CLI tool with SVG/PNG output
- you want to compare different maze generation algorithms

## When to avoid
- you need an interactive maze game or GUI
- you need a library to embed in your own application rather than a standalone tool
- you need PNG output but cannot install gnuplot

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
