An implementation of Kruskal's algorithm for generating mazes.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# An implementation of Kruskal's algorithm for generating mazes.
# Fairly expensive, memory-wise, as it requires memory proportional
# to the size of the entire maze, and it's not the fastest of the
# algorithms (what with all the set and edge management is has to
# do). Also, the mazes it generates tend to have a lot of very short
# dead-ends, giving the maze a kind of "spiky" look.
# --------------------------------------------------------------------
# NOTE: the display routine used in this script requires a terminal
# that supports ANSI escape sequences. Windows users, sorry. :(

Use one of these techniques to install node and npm without having to sudo. Discussed in more detail at http://joyeur.com/2010/12/10/installing-node-and-npm/ Note: npm >=0.3 is *safer* when using sudo.
echo 'export PATH=$HOME/local/bin:$PATH' >> ~/.bashrc

mkdir ~/local
mkdir ~/node-latest-install
cd ~/node-latest-install

./configure --prefix=~/local
make install # ok, fine, this step probably takes more than 30 seconds...
