seem to remember there was another rollercoaster tycoon thread where they'd built a giant hedge maze and a guest had been stuck inside for like 25 years
There is a youtube video about it. Apparently the algorithm just chooses a direction on every intersection with a simple probability calculation. This means, that the average time increase for any dead-end to the left is 1.424. So your time is base walking time *1.424^n, where n is number of intersections.
You do not want your walking time increase exponentially with walking distance. :kitty-cri-potato:
