Exercise: Sparse Mazes
Explore how to design and implement sparse mazes by controlling maze density through a parameter. Learn to reduce dead ends by unlinking cells and optionally removing them to create more open, cave-like maze structures. This exercise enhances your understanding of maze generation techniques and flexible puzzle design.

A sneak peek into sparse mazes
The mazes we've generated to this point have been dense mazes, filling the available grid. Not all mazes need to do so, however. For example, if we wanted to represent a cave system with a random maze, we probably wouldn't want the passages packed in as tightly as possible.
