BFS Visualisation

You need to launch this website as a local server (for example, if you have python use py -m http.server) for the maze selector to work.

Reason: due to security restrictions in Firefox and Chrome (CVE-2019-11730), local HTML pages cannot use JS fetch() to load text files in the same directory when the protocol is file: and not http: or https:

• The maze is a rectangle (meaning all lines have the same length) enclosed by a wall on all 4 sides
• For walls, use the X character
• For freely navigable fields use spaces
• Each line is a row of the maze
• So, newlines (Enter) form separate rows
• After you've specified the maze, specify the start and end fields in the following format:
  • start [column], [row]
  • end [column], [row]
  • For example:

    start 68, 52
    end 21, 22
    

    Indexing starts from 0.
    Remember these two lines must be the last two lines of the file.
• File format is txt

So a simple maze may look like this:

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
X         X   X                 X
X XXX X   X X   XXXXX X   XXX X X
X     X X   X X   X   X X   X   X
X  XXXX   XXX XXX X  XXX X  X   X
X     X           X         X   X
X  X   XX XX XX X X X XXX       X
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
start 6, 2
end 31, 6

End of the maze not specified, refer to file format guide

Start of the maze not specified, refer to file format guide
