Mazes for Programmers is an awesome book and you should definitely buy a copy.
However, all the code examples in the book are written in Ruby and it's not always straightforward to make them work in Python.
So, for anyone who's interested, here's my simple, bare-bones Python implementation of the code examples for each section of the book.
I’ve tried to keep everything as close as possible to the book so that it’s easy to go chapter by chapter. However, I would recommend that you try writing your own code first (that's the fun challenge!) and then only reference these examples if you get stuck.
A few notes:
-
You will need to install Pillow in order to see PNG versions of the mazes.
-
If you're looking for an explanation of how the different maze algorithms work, then buy yourself a copy of Mazes for Programmers. Highly recommended!
-
If you find this code useful or inspiring, then feel free to buy me a coffee. ☕️
