Mazes in Python Part 1: Building and Visualizing
If you’re up for a little challenge and would like to take your programming skills to the next level, then you’ve come to the right place! In this hands-on video course, you’ll practice object-oriented programming, among several other good practices, while building a cool maze solver project in Python.
This is the first part in a two-part series. Throughout the series, you’ll go step by step through the guided process of building a complete and working project. This will include reading a maze from a binary file, visualizing it using scalable vector graphics (SVG), and finding the shortest path from the entrance to the exit.
In part one of the series, you’ll learn how to:
- Use an object-oriented approach to represent the maze in memory
- Visualize the maze and its solution using scalable vector graphics (SVG)
If you’ve already completed this video course, then you can jump ahead to Mazes in Python Part 2: Storing and Solving, where you’ll complete the project by creating a binary storage format for mazes and solving mazes using NetworkX.
