🧩 Maze Solver (Python)

This repository contains the Maze Solver project, developed as part of the Boot.dev course. The project focuses on creating an algorithmic solution to navigate and solve mazes using Python.

🚀 Features

• Maze Navigation: Automatically find paths from start to finish.
• Algorithm Implementation: Solve mazes using BFS (Breadth-First Search) and DFS (Depth-First Search).
• Visualization: Print clear outputs of maze traversal and solutions.
• Custom Mazes: Create and test with your own maze inputs.

🛠️ Technologies Used

• Python: Core programming language.
• Algorithm Design: BFS and DFS implementations.
• CLI Interface: Run and test mazes directly from the terminal.
• Unit Testing: Verify algorithm accuracy with Python's unittest framework.

📚 What I Learned

• Implementing BFS and DFS in Python.
• Navigating two-dimensional arrays and graph-like structures.
• Building robust CLI tools for algorithm testing.
• Testing edge cases to ensure solver accuracy.

🧪 Testing

Unit tests ensure the correctness of maze traversal and algorithm performance. Tests cover:

• Validity of solved paths.
• Handling of unsolvable mazes.
• Performance on larger and complex mazes.

Run tests with:

python -m unittest discover
