Robot in a wooden maze. A maze-solving algorithm is an automated method for solving a maze.The random mouse, wall follower, Pledge, and Trémaux's algorithms are designed to be used inside the maze by a traveler with no prior knowledge of the maze, whereas the dead-end filling and shortest path algorithms are designed to be used by a person or computer program that can see the whole maze at once.
The Lee algorithm is one possible solution for maze routing problems based on breadth-first search. It always gives an optimal solution, if one exists, but is slow and requires considerable memory. It always gives an optimal solution, if one exists, but is slow and requires considerable memory.
Maze generation animation using Wilson's algorithm (gray represents an ongoing random walk). Once built the maze is solved using depth first search. All the above algorithms have biases of various sorts: depth-first search is biased toward long corridors, while Kruskal's/Prim's algorithms are biased toward many short dead ends.
The algorithm listed under "Maze-solving algorithm" doesn't seem to work reliably. I was looking for a maze solver with bounded memory requirements, and implemented that one. If you're going from one corner to another in a square grid, and there's an obstacle in the center, you get stuck wall-following round and round the center obstacle.

Here are some examples of what just basic vintage games could make you if you sell them. Space Invaders (Atari 2600, 1978): $75 to $1,450 Pong (original Atari Pong C-100, 1972): $100 to $150
If the maze is on paper, the thread may well be a pencil. Logic problems of all natures may be resolved via Ariadne's thread, the maze being but an example. At present, it is most prominently applied to Sudoku puzzles, used to attempt values for as-yet-unsolved cells. The medium of the thread for puzzle-solving can vary widely, from a pencil to ...
