Path Finding using a Maze

A program made using Java that implements basic path finding and other operations on a randomly generated maze.

Operations:

• Generate a New Maze
• Load Maze from Existing File
• Save Maze to File
• Display Loaded Maze
• Find Escape

Working:

• Once Main.java is run, the user is prompted with 2 options,
  • Generate new maze
  • Load maze from existing file

• If new maze is to be generated, the user is asked to enter an integer as input for the dimensions of the maze. The generate() function from Maze.java is triggered and a new square maze of specified dimensions is created.

• If maze is to be loaded, user is asked to enter the path of the file that is used for importing the maze. Errors are handled.

• Once the maze has been loaded into the program from either of the mentioned options, the maze object in Main.java is updated and other operations are made available for use.

• The user is now prompted to perform any of the operations that were mentioned earlier. All the operations are coded in the 'Maze.java' file in the 'src' directory.

• User can save the maze to a file before terminating the program.

• When done, the program can be terminated by using the Exit option from the Menu.
