Created as a homework project by Tom Kowalski and Leandro Taveras

Instructions:

Run Maze.jar

• The inital type of world shown is a manual search world that is unbiased.
  • Use arrow keys to move to the finish.
    • Only works if the Search type is Manual, if not the arrow keys do not affect the program
  • Use R to make a new maze with the same properties
    • Same type of search
    • Same type of biasedness
  • Use B to change search to a Breadth First Search
    • biasedness stays the same
    • Maze does not change, only the search type does
  • Use D to change search to a Depth First Search
    • biasedness stays the same
    • Maze does not change, only the search type does
  • Use M to change search to a Manual Search
    • biasedness stays the same
    • Maze does not change, only the search type does
  • Use V to create Maze with the same type of search, but with a vertical bias
    • search type does not change
    • A new maze is created
  • Use H to create Maze with the same type of search, but with a horizontal bias
    • search type does not change
    • A new maze is created
  • Use N to create Maze with the same type of search, but with no bias
    • search type does not change
    • A new maze is created
  • Use S to toggele showing the path from the start to the currently affected node in the maze
    • This works in all 3 types of searchs
• Changing NODE_SIZE in MazeWorld changes the displayed size maze Cells
• Changing WORLD_HEIGHT in MazeWorld changes the number of cells in the maze horizontally
• Changing WORLD_WIDTH in MazeWorld changes the number of cells in the maze vertically
