How can I visualize maze solving in Python?

You can use libraries like Matplotlib or Pygame to create visual representations of maze-solving algorithms.

Can you provide a simple example using Matplotlib?

Sure! You can create a grid and use colors to represent walls, paths, and the solution. Would you like to see the code?

Yes, please share the code!

Here's a basic example:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

# Define the maze as a 2D array
maze = np.array([[1, 1, 1, 1, 1],
                 [0, 0, 1, 0, 1],
                 [1, 0, 1, 0, 1],
                 [1, 0, 0, 0, 1],
                 [1, 1, 1, 1, 1]])

# Visualize the maze
plt.imshow(maze, cmap='binary')
plt.show()

This will display the maze with walls and paths.

How do I implement a maze-solving algorithm?

You can implement algorithms like Depth-First Search or A* to find a path through the maze. Would you like details on a specific algorithm?
