A Route Through A Maze

Good Essays

Solution 1,

The solution for Problem Set 1, required a route through a maze. Elkner et al. (2010) suggested that, “A program is a sequence of instructions that specifies how to perform a computation.” Given this information, it was concluded that rules and disciplines were required in order for the knight to understand and process any instructions given to it. Having prior knowledge that the knight would foremost, need a full understanding of movement as a program platform, it was evaluated, that rotational 360o axis was attached as a second layer to the maze, this accommodated to calculate how many degrees the knight would need to turn as it progressed through the maze; leaving an understanding of full movement understanding (see Appendix C).
A solution to this was to complete and record all of the movements in a Microsoft Excel chart. The chart would record how many movements the knight would have to take, how many steps were required, whether to turn left 90o or turn right 90o and movements up or down. The decision was also made to declare that each square the knight had completed, would be recorded as 1 step and whether the knight turned or moved multiple steps, each procedure would be recorded as 1 movement (see Appendix A).

Using this method, I created a cognitive solution or pathway to a complex maze. Its simplicity produced a visual instruction on which directional momentum or pivot the knight would need to move in order to reach the Princess in the centre of
