Future Features: Nothing's Ever Finished

• Separate UI and Algorithm Logic: Currently, the canvas is drawn to as an algorithm is solving a given maze. By solving (or failing to solve) a given maze, storing each path taken, then drawing each path, the view and model are effectively separated and the UI becomes much more flexible.
