MazeVisualiser

Project for taking an Image and outputting visualisations of its structure based off old Unity code I wrote.

Requirements

• Dot Net Core 2.0
• Annoyingly, Windows (As ImageMagick's Dotnet Core version only runs on Windows currently)

Usage

• Install .Net Core 2.0
• Checkout the project
• Build the project in your IDE/process of choice
• Run: dotnet outputPath\Core.dll somePath\image.png -- You can optionally add '-a=astar' to change the algorithm to A*, if not specified it defaults to Dijkstra

It'll generate a mess of .pngs in the folder you run it from and then an output.gif

Note

• It's hard coded to use a Rainbow Gradient at the moment
• It's hard coded to start from the very top left pixel
• It's hard coded to only detect EXACTLY black pixels as wall

Direction

• Massively tidy up the image output code
• Tidy up the images created as currently it leaves behind a trail of images on disk
• Make it run in isolated folders to avoid file name collision with successive runs
• Wire in .Net Core's DI
• Allow customisable start locations
• Allow customisable colour gradients
• Unit tests
