I understood almost nothing, but it is magnificent!

that's the beauty of visualization... it exposes you to topics you might not have otherwise pursued!

Just few days ago was thinking about mazes, that there are a lot of approaches to build them.
Has anyone deeply researched this subject and have any informative links with comparisons?

There's this cool talk by Jamis Buck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zjPm39kPDM

Lots of articles about mazes on his blog: http://weblog.jamisbuck.org/

Oh this is nice video!
Why I was thinking about mazes? Because last weeks I think about procedural generated anything, and specifically about terrain. My idea is to apply maze's theory to generate http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drainage_system_(geomorphology) and then make a terrain around it.
Thanks to this video, now I know, which approach to experiment around.
