Make Mazes with Python

Making mazes with Python is a fun way to combine creativity with algorithms. You can generate mazes using techniques like depth-first search (DFS), recursive division, or Prim’s algorithm, where each method creates unique paths and patterns. With Python, it’s simple to represent the maze as a grid of cells and use libraries like matplotlib or pygame to visualize it. For example, you can start with a blank grid, carve passages by randomly choosing directions, and ensure every cell is reachable without loops.

Once generated, the maze can be solved using pathfinding algorithms such as breadth-first search (BFS) or A*. This makes maze-building in Python not only a great project for practicing data structures and algorithms but also an engaging way to explore visualization and game design.
