Python Maze
It used to be that when I wanted to learn a new language, I would write a 3D maze program. It was a fun way to learn a language. Some of the mazes graphical and some where text based, but every maze had some common features:
- Read maze from a file or database
- parse the file or read the database to generate the maze
- render the maze graphically or through text
- Allow WASD first person movement through the maze
Some were web based applications and some were standalone applications, but they all combine some components of a basic application such as file I/O, parsing, graphics or screen type I/O, and user interaction from the keyboard.
I already have been using Python for years, but I thought I'd go back and do this exercise for Python using Django.
