I was afraid of that answer.

Yes, that's combined what 'maze number' and 'wall density' will 
do too. I was offering those option separate, because my maze 
generator already has implemented that. But I get your point of  
using some standard setups.

Different playing modes are ok, but I wouldn't like to start 
with the lowest difficulty over and over. Perhaps I should also 
use the switches for some options.

Hmm, what about that:
Offering a lot of customizing AND some standard setups that use 
some predefined values?

Have fun!
