On the Subject of Painting Fractal Maze

Mac users shivering in their timbers...

The following algorithm describes how to utilize MS Paint functionality to solve the module.

  1. Home → Resize: Resize by pixels, Maintain aspect ration OFF, Vertical-64, Horizontal-64
  2. View → Zoom in (spam until max zoom)
  3. Home → Pencil. Use the top-left 2×2 pixels and paint them with colours from the module. Keep in mind that the sheet is white by default, although white on the module means all 3 transformations.
  4. Home → Select. Select the top-left 2×2 pixels. Now resize the selected box to be the size of the entire picture by dragging the bottom-right of the box to the bottom-right of the entire sheet (start dragging from the C3 pixel, not B2, because Paint is weird)
  5. Copy and paste the selected picture. Now resize it to 32×32 pixels and place over one of the 3 corners. Based on what corner colour you put it over perform the transformation (right click → rotate) on it (in RGB order, for each component present: R → flip vertical, G → flip horizontal, B → rotate 90° clockwise). Repeat for the other 2 present corners (using the original 64×64 picture from the start of the iteration (it is still supposed to be in your clipboard)). Once finished, your maze should look like a 4×4 pixel image (this is iteration 1)
  6. Now select and copy the entire new picture. This is the start of the new iteration. Perform actions from the previous step (assuming there are still 3 big corners with the same colours). Once finished, your maze should look like a 8×8 pixel image (iteration 2)
  7. Repeat the previous step once to get the final 16×16 maze (iteration 3)
  8. When the module decreases the iteration just use Ctrl+Z.
