We think that solving mazes on convex solids is a nice space visualization experience. So we developed a computer program written in Mathematica that generates random mazes on the solids.
We have a black dot on one face a solid and a gray dot on another face. The aim is to move from the black dot to the gray one. It is forbidden to cross certain specified edges, marked in bold type.
