ABOUT

I wanted to learn how to use html and typescript in case I need to do some web development down the line. For content to put on the webpage for now I will do something I've been wanting to make for a while, a maze solving algorithm visualizer.

I have seen people do this in the past on youtube:

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9W8hNdEUFbc&ab_channel=CodeNoodles actually quite a few so I won't list more.

COMPLETED

• Ability to generate random maze
• Ability to modify generated maze
• Multiple maze solving algorithms
• Visualize steps of solution
• Visualization options

TODO

• Make it so that generated maze is guaranteed to be solvable

• Add more algs including:

  • uniform cost search
  • depth-limited search
  • iterative deepening search
  • Bi-directional search

• Add color legend

• Figure out why canvas does not refresh while dragging mouse until mouseup

• Figure out why sound is sometimes not playing
