maze

Create and solve mazes in Python.

How to use

from maze import *

m = Maze()
m.create(25, 25, Maze.Create.BACKTRACKING)
m.save_maze()
m.solve((0, 0), (24, 24), Maze.Solve.DEPTH)
m.save_solution()

The code above creates the following pictures:

Algorithms

Creating

• Recursive backtracking algorithm
• Hunt and kill algorithm
• Eller's algorithm
• Sidewinder algorithm
• Prim's algorithm
• Kruskal's algorithm

Solving

• Depth-first search
• Breadth-first search

C

The recursive backtracking algorithm and depth-first search are also implemented in C. They are around 100x faster than their Python counterparts.

How to install

Simply go into the setup.py directory and run pip install . to install the package.

Requirements

• NumPy
• Pillow
• pyprocessing if you want to run the visual examples
