Recursively Visiting a Maze


# graphicsVisitMaze.py
# D. Thiebaut
# Generates a maze and displays it in a graphics window.
# The maze is defined as a collection of lines of text.
# MazeText is the variable containing the raw definition.
# MazeText is split into lines and the list of lines is kept
# in the variable maze.
# Each line in mazeText contains # or . characters.  A #-character
# indicates a wall, while a . indicates an empty space.
# MazeText is cleaned up and all the dots are replaced by spaces.
# Then the maze is displayed in the graphic window.
# The program maintains the status of the visit in the variable
# maze.  A '.' will represent a breadcrumb, i.e. a place that has
# been visited and that is potentially on the path to the exit.  A
# 'v' character indicates a visited place that leads to an impass.
# The program starts by visiting location STARTi (line number)
# and STARTj (column number).
