This is a simple maze game implementation using a backtracking algorithm. The purpose of this project is to demonstrate how backtracking can be used to find a path through a maze.
This project presents a maze game where you must navigate through a maze by finding the path from the starting point to the exit. The maze is generated randomly, and the backtracking algorithm is used to find a solution.
Follow these instructions to get the game up and running on your local machine.
- Python 3.6 or higher
- Pygame (You can install it using
pip)
-
Clone this repository to your local machine using Git:
git clone https://github.com/yourusername/maze-game-backtracking.git
-
Navigate to the project directory:
cd maze-game-backtracking -
Install the required dependencies:
pip install pygame
-
Run the game:
python main.py
- Use the arrow keys to move your character through the maze.
- Your goal is to reach the exit represented by a specific tile in the maze.
- The maze is randomly generated, and the backtracking algorithm is used to ensure there's a solution.
- Enjoy the game and have fun solving mazes!
The backtracking algorithm works as follows:
- Start at the initial position.
- Move in a direction (up, down, left, or right) as far as possible until you hit a wall or reach the exit.
- If you reach a dead-end (no further moves are possible), backtrack to the previous position.
- Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you reach the exit.
The algorithm is implemented in the code, and you can see it in action while playing the game.
