Always either turn left or turn right, eventually you'll get out
Not if there are islands in the maze
But wouldn't you just then go around the island? Or am I missing something?
You would just go around. You would need to start on an island for it not to work. Which I don’t think you actually can, since the entrance (and the corresponding exit) necessarily already form a kind of “island”. Like if you have one entrance and one exit, there’s literally no way for them not to be connected
Oh, I was just considering for a simple maze, I hadn't thought about the different possible maze designs
