Nice article!
It is so easy to follow, implement, and understand to tweak it.
Playing with JS to create games is FUN.
Here's a video I did combining two articles: maze generation (via Cellular Automata) and collision detection (I suggest turning on sound for this):

ht to @chriscoyier.net and Codepen newsletter, I wouldn't have seen it otherwise

Love that the world still finds joy in creating & solving mazes! I discovered my love for them via the video game "nethack", back when the Internet was text-only ;). I rekindled the flame in 2021, published a series of js playable mazes on the genart platform fxhash.

Here's a demo of my "color-following recursive subdivision" maze-creation algorithm in action. It's one of two algorithms I implemented in vanilla JavaScript for this genart project.

Video ends with a few seconds of gameplay, just for fun!
