hc5duke / mazesolver

An application that solves mazes of arbitrary size!

MazeSolver

An application designed to generate random solvable mazes of any size, and solve them! The program uses an implementation of the A* algorithm to solve these mazes, clone the repo and give it a try yourself!

Unsolved	Solved

Your only limitation to the size of the maze is the sky itself (well, and the size of your console and monitor I guess).

Usage

./MazeSolver -p runs the program with print functionality, or just run it with ./MazeSolver . Super simple!

Building

There's no dependencies for this repo, yay!. All you need to worry about it building the project

1. Clone the master MazeSolver repository in a directory of your choice.

2. Create a build folder. This project requires and out-of-tree build. This means you will be unable to should not run CMake in the MazeGen folder

3. Open up the CMake GUI. in the input box labelled "Where is the source code:", enter the full path to the source folder. In the input box labelled "Where to build the binaries" , enter the full path to the folder you created in step 2.

4. Press the "Configure" button. A window will pop up asking you which compiler to use. Selecter any version your heart desires but this tutorial will center around VS, so we're going to select to build a VS project.

5. hit "Generate".

6. Open up the build folder, double click the Solution file and build the project. All done!

Linux
