Projects

1. Maze Solver

A minimal toy project for exploring different maze-solving and pathfinding strategies.

Key files:

• maze/maze.py – main solver script
• maze/maze1.txt, maze/maze2.txt, maze/maze3.txt – example mazes to solve
• maze/QueueFrontier_maze1.png, ... – solver result visualizations (BFS/DFS)
• maze/README.md – how-to for the maze component

How to run:

cd maze
python maze.py maze1.txt

You can replace maze1.txt with any other test file in the maze/ directory.

Sample output: The script will output the solution and optionally save an image if configured.

Example usage from maze/README.md:

Maze solving algorithm.

Usage: python maze.py maze1.txt

Example screenshots (see repo for more):
