Project Title
Maze Solver Game (using Angular)

Project Summary
The Maze Solver Game is a logic-based puzzle game built with Angular where the player either navigates through a maze manually or watches an AI algorithm find the solution. The game demonstrates pathfinding techniques and encourages problem-solving skills. It's ideal for showcasing both interactive gameplay and algorithm visualization.

Core Features

• Maze Generation: Random or predefined mazes are generated for the player or AI to solve.
• Manual Play Mode: Players can navigate the maze using keyboard arrow keys or on-screen controls.
• AI Solver Mode: Demonstrates how a pathfinding algorithm (e.g., BFS, DFS, A*, Dijkstra) can solve the maze automatically.
• Visual Pathfinding: Animates the algorithm’s process as it searches through the maze to reach the goal.
• Collision Detection: Prevents the player or algorithm from passing through walls.
• Reset and Regenerate: Allows the user to reset the maze or generate a new one.
• Goal Detection: Checks when the player or AI reaches the end point of the maze.
• Timer: Tracks how long it takes to solve the maze.

Technologies Used

• Angular: For creating the interactive UI, managing game logic, and updating maze states.
• RxJS: For animation timing, controlling step-by-step visualization of algorithms.
• Angular Services: Handles the maze data structure, game logic, and solver implementation.
• CSS/SCSS: For grid-based maze layout and animations for player or AI movement.
• TypeScript: Used to implement the maze generation, player movement, and AI algorithms.

Learning Outcomes

• Building dynamic grid-based games using Angular.
• Understanding and visualizing pathfinding algorithms.
• Applying reactive programming with RxJS for step-based animations.
• Managing complex game state across Angular components.
• Structuring game logic cleanly using Angular services and TypeScript.

Possible Enhancements

• Add multiple difficulty levels with larger and more complex mazes.
• Include different algorithms to compare speed and efficiency.
• Allow users to draw custom mazes and test solutions.
• Add a leaderboard for fastest times in manual mode.
• Use local storage to save user progress or preferences.
• Add themes or visual styles (e.g., dungeon, forest, futuristic maze).
