I asked GPT-3 to write a program to solve a maze. It did.

See it in the playground.

How to use

1. Clone the repo.
2. cd gpt3-python-maze-solver
3. python maze-solver.py && open solution.png

Instructions provided to GPT-3

Image of maze:
The maze walls will be black
The maze path will be white
The maze start will be a green pixel
The maze end will be a red pixel

Write a python program that does the following:
Load an image of a maze from the file "maze.png". It will meet the description of the maze above.
Analyze the image to find a solution to the maze. Use the a* pathfinding algorithm.
Produce an image which has a line drawing of the solution to the maze.

Bugs

This solution it created had one bug, at the very last line where it attempted to save the image of the solution. I fixed it, and that was the only change.

It took several tries to get a version that worked, but this one did. It does not employ the A* algorithm, but it does find a solutiuon.
