bungogood / maze

A command line tool to generate and solve mazes which are stored as png files. Using a wide range of graph algorithms A*, DFS, BFS...

Maze

Inspired by a Computerphile video.

Usage

Generate

./maze gen <mazes/out.png> 1000

Solve

./maze gen <mazes/in.png>

Color

./maze gen <mazes/in.png> <mazes/out.png>

Show

./maze show <mazes/in.png>

Install

git clone [e-mail]:Bungogood/maze.git
cd maze
mkdir mazes .obj
make

To Do

• add path checker for filenames
• add integer checker for seed and width / height
