// Entombed maze generator

// Here's what I'd like to see added: (Crates)
// * There must be at least one valid path from start to exit
// * Areas that are completely enclosed should have no openings inside
// * Avoid shorter paths that go less far, in favor of longer, meandering ones
// * It would be cool to see an AI that can generate complex mazes!
// Maze generation rules lookup table.
// Presented vertically for easy copy&paste of rules
// Entombed's own rule is "iiiroorriiiiroooiiirooooroirrooo"
// Rule "iooioooiiooioooiiooioooiiooioooi" is identical to rule 110 and so is turing complete
//
// Key - i = filled, o = empty, r = random
//
// a = ooooooooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
// b = ooooooooiiiiiiiiooooooooiiiiiiii
