Fun package!

It would be helpful if there were a way to indicate to the person solving the maze where they should start and end.

For example, the following plots a nice maze and solution, however the start and end point are not obvious without showing the path:

m <- maze(35,100)
p <- solve_maze(m, start = 'left', end = 'right')
plot(m, lwd = 1, walls = TRUE)
lines(p, lwd = 3, col = 2)

This enhancement could be implemented in a number of ways. I can think of two:

1. Make a break in the wall at the start and end points
2. Plot user-defined symbols for start and end outside the maze in the right locations (along with (1) if walls are drawn)

To do this with existing functionality I would need to save the maze as an image and then post-process it in an image editor to do (1) and/or (2).

The above is based on mazing version 1.0.2.

It would be great if there was a way to plot mazes with ggplot2, but unfortunately I am not the right person for that job. If anybody reading this has the know-how and wants to become an author on this package, please let me know!
