Mazes in Python Part 1: Building and Visualizing.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=0.62
00:07https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=7.07
If you are up for a challenge and would like to take your programming skills tohttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=7.07
the next level, then you’ve come to the right place.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=10.45
In this two-part video course,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=13.59
you’ll practice object-oriented programming amongst several other good practiceshttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=15.11
while building a maze solver project in Python.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=18.9
00:23https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=23.26
From reading a maze from a binary file, to visualizing it using scalable vectorhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=23.26
graphics, to finding the shortest path from the entrance to the exit,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=27.43
you’ll go step by step through the guided process of building a complete andhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=31.01
working project.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=34.95
00:36https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=36.461
In this part of the course,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=36.461
you’ll learn how to use an object-oriented approach to represent a maze inhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=38.97
memory and visualize the maze and its solution using scalable vector graphics.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=43.27
00:50https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=50.21
In the second part,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=50.21
you’ll define a specialized binary file format to store the maze on disk,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=51.03
transform the maze into a traversable weighted graph,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=55.87
and use graph search algorithms in the NetworkX library to find the solution.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=58.77
01:05https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=65.14
This course will best suit intermediate Python developers who’d like to practicehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=65.14
object-oriented programming while building a cool project.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=68.75
Throughout this tutorial, you’ll be using several features of modern Python,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=72.31
so make sure you’re on Python 3.10 or later.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=76.2
01:21https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=81.37
In addition,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=81.37
it may be worth brushing up on the topics on-screen before you dive in.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=81.93
Real Python has you covered with all of these,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=86.64
and you’ll find links in the accompanying materials to all of them.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=88.67
01:31https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=91.55
Or you can use the search tool on the site to find the course you are lookinghttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=91.55
for.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=94.67
But note that you don’t need to be an expert in any of these areas to followhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=97.38
along with the course, as it will guide you through the steps involved.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=100.68
01:44https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=104.307
In fact,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=104.307
a key aspect of your learning experience will be seeing these features in ahttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=105.16
practical context.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=108.56
You may then want to take a deeper dive into areas of interest when you’ve seenhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=110.16
them in action.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=113.7
01:56https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=116.88
Any code that you see running in the REPL will be using the bpython interpreter.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=116.88
This is a replacement Python interpreter that offers a number of enhancements,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=121.13
including code highlighting and suggestions.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=124.38
02:06https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=126.92
But any code you see running on-screen will work in the standard Python REPL,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=126.92
which is typically accessed by typing python or python3 at your terminal orhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=130.67
command-line prompt.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=135.02
02:16https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=136.763
At the end of this two-part course,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=136.763
you’ll have a command-line maze solver that can load your maze from a binary filehttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=139.75
and show the solution in a web browser.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=143.93
02:35https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=155.58
You’ll also learn how to build your own mazes from scratch and save them onhttps://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=155.58
disk.https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=159.15
So now you know what’s going to be covered,https://realpython.com/courses/python-maze-solver/continue/#t=159.73
