1.Download the following class source files: MazeBurrowing.java

MazeGenerator.java

  1. In Eclipse, create a new Java project called "Project 1", and import the above 2 files.

  2. Compile and run the program. Make sure it works (although it wont do much beyond asking you the dimensions of the array).

  1. The class MazeBurrowing has been implemented for you. This is the main class.

  2. The class MazeGenerator needs to be implemented by you. Specifically the following

    methods need to be filled in: private static void fillMatrix( char[][] matrix) (5 points)

    The purpose of this method is to fill the 2 dimensional array with all one character. In the analogy above, you are filling the bucket with soil.

public static int burrowMaze(char[][] matrix, int x, int y) (20 points)

This method is the recursive method. matrix should already be filled with the character that you chose to fill it with in fillMatrix (you dont need to call it). xand y is the location your algorithm is currently at (in the analogy, it is where the worm currently is in the soil). At this point, your worm has to check to see if it can move in any direction. While the worm has soil neighbors, have it move randomly in that direction. This means burrowing through two spots by setting those cells to blank spaces and passing off this new location to a recursive call of this method. When it can no longer make any moves (it has no neighbors), the method simply returns.

To help with burrowMaze, I have provided you with 5 methods.

1. hasWestNeighbor 2. hasEastNeighbor 3. hasNorthNeighbor 4. hasSouthNeighbor 5. hasNoNeighbors

You can use these methods to help you determine if there are neighbors and which neighbors it has. Again, neighbors are defined as a place you can burrow to, that will not burrow into an already existing tunnel.

  1. Make sure you comment your program. This includes name, date, description, as well as general comments in the above mentioned methods (burrowMaze and fillMatrix). (5 points)

  2. Test your program thoroughly with different size mazes. In MazeBurrowing.java, you will see the call to printMatrix, if you replace the textfile name with an empty string (), it will print the maze to the console. You can do this early on to quickly test your code. The down side is, after a certain size, the console will not accurately print out the maze (a limitation of the console). Once you are certain your maze works, print out 3 mazes of different sizes, and complete them with a pen or marker. Alternatively, you are granted permission to have a friend or family member complete the printed the mazes for you. (NOTE: your recursive algorithm does not need to make the start and end points, you

can manually choose them when you go to print it). Scan or take pictures of the completed mazes. (10 points)
