Algorithm Maze Race
๐ Algorithm Race Mode - The Real Challenge!
Think you're a good pathfinder? Prove it.
In our unique Algorithm Race mode, you don't just solve the maze—you compete head-to-head against 6 legendary pathfinding algorithms used in real-world applications:
- ๐ด BFS (Breadth-First Search) - The methodical explorer
- ๐ฉต DFS (Depth-First Search) - The deep diver
- ๐ก Dijkstra - The classic pioneer of shortest paths
- ๐ข A* - The gold standard in game AI
- ๐ฃ Bellman-Ford - The thorough analyst
- ๐ถ Greedy Best-First - The optimistic sprinter
You go first. Solve the maze your way, then watch in real-time as each algorithm races through the same puzzle. See exactly how your human intuition stacks up against computer science's finest pathfinding techniques!
๐ Learn While You Play
Ever wondered how GPS navigation finds the fastest route? How video game enemies chase you through levels? Or how robots navigate warehouses?
The same algorithms racing against you power these real-world systems!
Watch their different strategies unfold—some explore methodically, others beeline toward the goal. See which approaches find the shortest path and which get tricked by dead ends. It's computer science education disguised as pure fun!
