Can you solve a maze by program?
Question asked by: mrquestion
Asked on: 06 Jan 2010
Yes you can solve a maze programatically.
There is a simple algorithm that can be used to do this.
You pick the start cell, or a cell at random. You then get a list of squares that you can move to and haven't already visited, and then you move into one of those cells and keep on going until you can't go any further. If you have reached the end of the maze, then you've solved it. If not then you backtrack to the last cell you visited where there were unexplored options, and take the next option, and so on, until you have exhausted all routes.
