Solve any 20-by-20 maze interactively.
Windows-compatible port of CSharperMantle/mazer, the assignment 2.2 for HDU 2023 fall course Preliminary Program Designing and Algorithms.
This fork is based on commit CSharperMantle/mazer@31e9e11587c732e58255d23b0d73d9eee1563585 from the original repository. This repo is only used as a proof-of-concept of curses-interop on Windows, so it will not receive any further updates. See the original CSharperMantle/mazer repo for course reports and relevant updates.
Current issues:
-
Ctrl-Cdoes not work. You need to close the window to exit.
Build with Visual Studio 2022 with C/C++ workload.

After finishing your edits, press q as described above to enter "RUN mode". In RUN mode, any key press will advance the searching step by 1.
Here is a example screen under EDIT mode:
