School project - simple maze solver written in Java.
Accepts one parameter - path to the maze bitmap.
Start and finish positions can be set via --start=x:y and --finish=x:y arguments.
Solved maze can be saved as a bitmap or text file, depending on the --out=Bitmap|Text argument. File will be saved as original_name**.solved.png|txt**
Solving larger mazes requires increasing JVM maximal memory, running with 512M is sufficient for the grand1.bmp maze.
Performance can be increased by running with parallel garbage collector (-XX:+UseParallelGC option).
Sample run commands:
java -cp build/classes maze.Maze data/normal1.bmp --start=0:2 --finish=10:10 --out=Text
java -cp build/classes -Xmx512M -XX:+UseParallelGC maze.Maze data/grand1.bmp --out=Bitmap
Grand1.bmp maze was created by Walter D. Pullen (www.astrolog.org)
