No I want to see a dot moving around the maze like in this vid:

Edit: nvm you figured it out on your own.

I’m currently updating the project. If it says “updating” in the title, I’m working on it.

I’m experiencing crashes, so I have to publish the update every minute, lol.

Then you should make a bug report.

It’s already been reported. Months ago, actually. “Hopscotch keeps crashing within 2-5 minutes of opening app”

Can you link me to it. You said it’s from disconnecting from WiFi for a few days right?

More like more than 3-6 hours.

So I decided to maze my own maze solver lol

That’s a-maze-ing!

I guess that makes three of us, lol.

Challenge accepted jk I already had my fair share of maze-making in Hopscotch

Well, you made a randomly generating maze, Mathematics2 and I made a basic maze solving algorithm, and Spy_Guy_96 made a maze you can make and solve yourself (well, from what I saw, anyways)

For my version, I used a useful trick called “the recursive function” to make the solver able to backtrack without extra variables.

The way my maze solver works is by basically solving the maze backwards and creating “arrows” that point back to the finish. It’s kinda hard to explain lol.

So it does some sort of pathfinding algorithm…?

Yeah, I know they’re different things, but the random maze generation has a lot of the same concepts involved in it. More specifically, I use backtracking to minimize the time it takes to generate a maze (I think mine has two variables (one for walls and one for steps iirc) since my engine is a bit different (each tile is a space – mine have no solid walls)

Point proven! Same thing in my maze generator – it literally has arrows in the string doing the same thing

It’s for tracking paths the solver has been to

I guess I’m the odd one out. I literally mark the tile the solver is at as “checked”, then I check one tile above, to the right, down, or to the left to see if any of those are open, then I repeat and backtrack if needed.

Here it shows how it works.

Interesting – that’s not what I was thinking, but I see how that works. Pretty cool!

You can also go to the “Path Draw” object in my project and set DEBUG MODE to 1 to visualize maze creation. For some reason, it’s imperfect, but actually I find that quite nice since sometimes the maze can be solved in 2 different ways (and it feels more natural)

I just fixed that annoying bug where the solver doesn’t solve more than once.

Cool! Did you give credit /idea credit for the person who made maze?

@TB23 could you please draw me a avatar for my forum account? You don’t have to do this. And just in case you ask what I want, I would like a panther.

Please give me credit for the idea.
