Maze Solvers

A program to generate and solve mazes.

Running – Two Steps:

On a UNIX/Linux system, cd to the Maze Solvers directory (root of this project) and run

export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`

to set a temporary variable in your shell, which will tell Python where to look for the program's modules. Then, simply:

python3 modules/ui_processing_link_layer/ui_processing_link_layer.py

Loading a Maze

When running this, you're presented with a 'Load a Maze' window. For now, just hit Load Maze…, and select the simply_connected_maze.db file. The program will load this preset maze and then you can:

• see the maze view drawn
• press Solve, and then the Step button (watch your terminal for solver progress!)

Dependencies

This project requires PyQt6 to be installed. You can install this very easily through Pip with:

python3 -m pip install PyQt6

PyQt6, however, requires Qt6 to install. You can get this through the Qt Online Installer here. Make sure to select Qt 6 and not Qt 5.

Happy mazeing!
