Maze Problem


Playing With Directions


There are several ways to do this. One is to change the for loop:

         // original
         for ( int dir = 0; dir < 4; dir++ ) 
               switch ( dir ) {
                                case 0: newi = i-1; newj=j;   break;
                                case 1: newi = i;   newj=j+1; break; 
                                case 2: newi = i+1; newj=j;   break;
                                case 3: newi = i;   newj=j-1; break;
                             }


or

         // reverse the loop
         for ( int dir = 3; dir >=0; dir-- )  
              switch ( dir ) {
                                case 0: newi = i-1; newj=j;   break;
                                case 1: newi = i;   newj=j+1; break; 
                                case 2: newi = i+1; newj=j;   break;
                                case 3: newi = i;   newj=j-1; break;
                             }


or, create an array with preset directions: in this case, we want to go up first, down next, right, then left.

         // create an new array of directions:
         int[] dirs = new int[] { 0, 2, 1, 3 };
         for ( int k = 0; k <4; k++ )  {
               dir = dirs[ k ];
               switch ( dir ) {
                                case 0: newi = i-1; newj=j;   break;
                                case 1: newi = i;   newj=j+1; break; 
                                case 2: newi = i+1; newj=j;   break;
                                case 3: newi = i;   newj=j-1; break;
                             }


Cleaning Up The Maze at the End


       /**
         * clears the maze of 'b' (back-tracks) or '.'
         * and marks the path to the exit with '.'
         */
        private static void clearMaze() {
                for ( int i=0; i< maze.length; i++ ) 
                        for ( int j=0; j < maze[i].length; j++ )
                                if ( maze[i][j] == '.' || maze[i][j] == 'b' )   
                                        maze[i][j] = ' ';
                                else if ( maze[i][j] == '*' )
                                        maze[i][j] = '.';
        }
