With little changes you can get cool results, f.e.

else 
{ 
        // drillers.push_back(make_pair((*m).first,(*m).second)); 
        // drillers.push_back(make_pair((*m).first,(*m).second)); 
        // change to 
        for (size_t index=0;index<10;index++) 
                drillers.push_front(make_pair((*m).first,(*m).second));

gives "star-like" effect:

or

        (*m).second-=2; 
        // if ((*m).second<0 || maze[(*m).second][(*m).first]) 
        // change to 
        if ((*m).second<0 || (maze[(*m).second][(*m).first] && rand()%5))
