Introducing Cube Mazes

Playing with cube mazes

We’re not talking about networks of passages inside a cube; that would give us those 3D mazes that we covered previously. Rather, here we’re considering mazes rendered purely on the surface of a cube.

Compared to cylindrical mazes, these are definitely a level-up. It’s true that they have some characteristics in common with cylinders (an ant on a cube could walk all the way around it), but there’s more to it. To help understand the difference, we need a simple way to visualize how a cube is constructed.
