What to Build

The goal of this hackathon challenge is to develop a program capable of solving mazes presented as images. Participants will be provided with maze images (similar to the example provided [here]). The task is to create an algorithm that takes these maze images as input and outputs a solved maze, with the correct path clearly marked (example: here). Additionally, the program should generate a text file specifying the number and order of turns taken to navigate through the maze (example: here).

What to Submit

Submissions must include a .zip file that has the following and be uploaded to an accessible Google Drive, with commenter permissions for anyone with link:

1. The program run to generate the solved maze (input images here)
2. The solved mazes with the correct path marked out (example here)
3. A .txt file, whose 1st line contains the number of turns taken, 2nd line represents the traversal distance and every succeeding line is either left or right (corresponding to the path taken to solve the maze) (example here)
4. A small video/screen recording demonstrating the generation of the correct path.
5. A README.md detailing the steps to run the program (if these steps do not work, your submission will not be considered).
