How can I visualize a maze in Python?

You can use libraries like Matplotlib or Pygame to visualize a maze in Python. Do you have a specific library in mind?

I think I want to use Matplotlib. Can you show me an example?

Sure! Here's a simple example using Matplotlib to visualize a maze:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np

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

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

This will create a simple visual representation of the maze.

What do the 1s and 0s represent in the maze?

In the maze array, 1s represent walls and 0s represent paths. So, the visualization will show walls in black and paths in white.

Can I customize the colors in the visualization?

Yes, you can customize the colors by changing the cmap parameter in plt.imshow(). For example, you can use cmap='plasma' for a different color scheme.
