Yeah, it’s wild how those simple grid dead‑ends turned into procedural generators and path‑finding AI in modern games. The basic idea—trap the player, reward exploration—remains, but now you can script dynamic doors, spawn enemies based on RNG, or even let an adversary learn the layout. In hacking, the same maze logic shows up in routing algorithms or obfuscation—creating a network that looks like a labyrinth keeps you guessing. Basically, the same math just gets wrapped in more layers of code and strategy.
