Designing a Maze-Solving Program with Joy
How can we design a program to solve a maze?
What are the main classes involved in designing a maze-solving program?
Main classes for designing a maze-solving program:
Maze.class and FileManager.class
Designing a program to solve a maze requires incorporating two main classes: Maze.class and FileManager.class. The FileManager.class is responsible for loading maze information from a file, while the Maze.class uses a search algorithm to find a path from the starting node to the exiting node.
Maze.class:The Maze.class takes the maze data loaded by the FileManager.class and uses a search algorithm, such as Depth-First Search or Breadth-First Search, to navigate through the maze. It handles the traversal rules and determines the path from the starting node to the exit node.
FileManager.class:The FileManager.class loads the maze information from a text file, where different characters represent walls, open paths, the starting point, and the exit point of the maze. It processes the maze data and makes it available for the Maze.class to navigate and solve the maze.
