TurtleInTheMaze

Python Maze-Solving Visualizer built on MazeSolvingAlgos module. You can see full demo here and for quick one:

Prerequisites

• TKinter and its submodule turtle:
  for GUI stuff. You can install it using pip (via pip install tkinter).

• MazeSolvingAlgos module:
  to be able to solve mazes. Get it from here.

• PIL module:
  to be able to save DrawingCanvas as image with Ghostscript. You can install it using pip (via pip install pillow).

• Ghostscript:
  to be able to deal with tkinter canvas postscript uing PIL. Download from here.

How to run

After satisfying prerequisites run runner.py and enter maze width and height, then feel free to draw with mouse or generate randome maze and solve it with any algorithm (But avoid Floyd-Warshall as you can especially for large mazes because it's $O(N^3)$ and may blows up your device ಠ‿ಠ )

How to use

Menubar:

• File:
  • New: to create new maze in the disk. [Can be accessed via (Ctrl+N)]
  • Open: to open existing maze from disk (as TITMZ file). [Can be accessed via (Ctrl+O)]
  • Save: to save the current maze in the disk (as TITMZ file). [Can be accessed via (Ctrl+S)]
  • Save as: to save the current maze in image format (PNG, JPG, JPEG or BMP) or maze file (TITMZ). [Can be accessed via (Ctrl+Shift+N)]
  • close: to close the current working maze. [Can be accessed via (Ctrl+C)]
  • Exit: to exit the window.

If you have curiosity to know why TITMZ (and I don't think you have); it's for TurtleInTheMaze.

    • Grid View: if checked gridlines will be displayed indicating cells' exact positions. [Can be accessed via (Ctrl+G)]

    

  • Zooming:
