A maze visualizer to compare BFS vs. DFS pathfinding

Pathfinding Maze: Visualizing Search Algorithms

Abstract

Use the Pathfinding Maze to compare two common search algorithms, Breadth-First Search and Depth-First Search, through an endless set of randomly generated mazes. The maze is your graph/tree and the algorithms guide you from the designated start node to the end node.
