Maze Solver Game

Saturday, December 19, 2009 15:43 No Comments

Essentially what the game consists of is you enter the size of your maze as an integer n (ie: 10) and then it generates a random maze of size nxn (ie: 10×10) which can be different for each nxn matrix you generate. Do to time restraints I wasn’t able to implement the A* search like [...]

Parsing XML

Wednesday, September 2, 2009 7:49 No Comments

The following could probably easily be considered three ideas in one, but because the protocol idea seems to ‘bridge’ the other two I decided on an all-inclusive post.
