Sorry to disappoint you. But, I got it from my head. I did not use any resources at all.

Nicely done! I suppose you use backtracking for the computer to solve mazes?
danpostdanpost

2012/4/9

You should be able to see what it does. The yellow dots are the squares in question, the red are squares determined as not in the correct path. It records where it has been, and when down the wrong path, will mark red (back-tracking) back to the next fork in the path; then, tries a different path.

Yeah I know how it works. Just wanted to make it sure.

danpost, I implemented the Maze Generation, (And gave you full credit) Check it out here, http://www.greenfoot.org/scenarios/4740 To get to your maze you need to find a cave ( they are under rocks) and then down the stairs inside a cave.

can i see the codes please.
danpostdanpost

2012/4/20

@tylers, you asked to see the codes. Well, I posted a new scenario called 'Maze Generator' with source. I hope that is sufficient. It only has the part to create the maze (but in multiple ways). It does not, however, have the player or the maze solving algorithm (or the timers; or muliple sizes).

uhhmm..we have project in our programming class,our teacher told us if we can ask one of the popular game users to let us see and copy the codes of any of the games and try it.the maze code and the sudoku or any games available. tnx.. pls. pls. pls. hehhe..i'll give u credit because of it..thanks

The code to my Maze Generator scenario is open source and well documented. Maybe that can help you out.

None of the keys seem to work.

2013/7/26

@Entity1037, I am not having any problems with any of the keys Also, I have to updated this in quite some time and nobody else has seemed to have any problems, either.

2013/7/26

Sorry, the words 'I have to updated' in the previous comment should be 'I have not updated'.
Entity1037Entity1037

2013/7/26

Well for some reason, all of the keys are non-responsive when I play the scenario.

Wait, closing and opening my browser seemed to fix it; nevermind... I should probably get my system checked...

that's cool. I like the ability to add color. How did you write code for a timer?
danpostdanpost

2013/9/10

@ksksks, I started a discussion called "On 'The Maze Factory' by danpost" to show the Timer class code. It is located at: http://www.greenfoot.org/topics/4431

I can't seem to get the L key and the S keys to work....
danpostdanpost

2013/11/25

@EmilyC26, try re-loading it (it works for me). If that does not help, I do not know what to suggest (I doubt it is a coding problem).

@danpost, thanks that helped. Awesome game by the way. :)

@EmilyC26, thank you. Glad you like it.

I really like it but how can u ever beat the computer with largest lvl took me 45sec while i knew the way after a couple of resets and computer needed 5.7sec
danpostdanpost

2014/1/6

@UNDEAD_DC, the system does not take the same paths in the same order when solving the maze. Sometimes it will find the correct path very quickly; other times it takes a bit longer. Under the right circumstances, you can beat the system on the largest levels. You may have to do a bit better than 45 seconds, however. I think the longest the system will take on the largest level is about 35 to 36 seconds.

@danpost what i wanted to say is that the computer dot moves so much faster than the player. Is it possible that the speed of the computer solves the maze depends on how fast your computer is?

Cool, but the competition would be more fare if the number of steps walked also came into account when solving the puzzle since the computer can brute force so quickly :) hehe
csr1010csr1010

2014/11/19

@KalleLarson Agreed!, but it is possible to beat on the largest level. i completed it in 21.5 and the comp did it in 30.7, but it covered 3/4 of the maze. lol

I would also love to be able to view the source code of this scenario. It will help me quite a bit when it comes to leaning on how to create walls or blocks that will well... block your actors path. Since I am currently not having the best of luck finding the best way of implementing such a features.
danpostdanpost

2015/12/15

@bilibull, this uses gridded world (cell sizes larger than one). Also, there are no walls here -- just blocks that are used to build the paths (players must remain on the block roads).

2015/12/15

Ah, I see... Oh well back to searching for a better way to create unmovable or possible walk through them. Thank you regardless.

how can I make my actor only move in the blocks that I have made

@bangtan, please start a discussion thread and include your current code for assistance.

BRO IS THIS EVEN SOLVABLE???

2023/4/29

@CLASH_ROYALE, always solvable !!! But, beatable ?? That's a different question.
