...was how chocolate chip cookies came out of the oven (An exageration...Windows and the Mac existed, but not in our comp sci department, of course.)

The display was text-only, and "refreshed" by scrolling in such a way that the characters representing the maze paused briefly in place on the same line as the previous ones (does that make sense?)

Recalling that, I have to re-evaluate my previous estimate of the dimensions of the maze. Given the typical text displays we had on that old Unix system, the maze couldn't have been bigger than 80 x 40 or so. Or was it? I just can't recall. I remember being less than completely satisfied with how the program presented itself. Maybe I made the maze too big for the screen. Like I said, it was a long time ago :-)
