I've adapted the following code to make mazes in LuaLaTeX and

I defined a modified version to make content visible to TeX and I
saved in a file named maze.lua:
function make_maze_tex(w, h, m)
w = w or 16
h = h or 8
local map = initialize_grid(w*2+1, h*2+1)
function walk(x, y)
map[y][x] = false
local d = { 1, 2, 3, 4 }
shuffle(d)
for i, dirnum in ipairs(d) do
local xx = x + dirs[dirnum].x
local yy = y + dirs[dirnum].y
if map[yy] and map[yy][xx] then
map[avg(y, yy)][avg(x, xx)] = false
walk(xx, yy)
end
end
end
walk(math.random(1, w)*2, math.random(1, h)*2)
...ext/tex/texmf-context/tex/context/base/mkiv/supp-ran.lua:30: C
stack overflow Why does it happen? I guess it has something to do
with math.randomseed, but I don't know how to avoid this error message.
no, it's just lua running out of stack space so it depends on the
binary (and als the initial random value)
But why is it running out of stack? Isn't the walk function tail
recursive, in which case it should not cause a stack overflow
(https://www.lua.org/pil/6.3.html).
not really tail recursive: that is only true when it's the last action
and return is used and it nests very deep
function foo(...)
...
return foo(...)
end
versus
function foo(...)
...
if something then
foo(...)
end
end
