| 00:00 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=0.98 |
| Updating the Maze Class. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=0.98 |
| At this point, | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=2.768 |
| the serializer module doesn’t depend on the Maze class anymore because there are | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=4.06 |
| no direct references to it. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=8.24 |
| 00:10 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=10.86 |
| You can safely update your maze model as a consequence. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=10.86 |
| 00:40 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=40.85 |
| With this class method, | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=40.85 |
| you can .load() squares from the specified path and turn them into a new Maze | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=42.04 |
| instance. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=46.9 |
| 00:59 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=59.05 |
| Conversely, by calling .dump() on an existing Maze object, | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=59.05 |
| you’ll dump its squares along with the necessary metadata to a given path. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=62.54 |
| 01:15 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=75.29 |
| On-screen is an example of the Maze.load() class method in action, | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=75.29 |
| which loads your miniature test maze. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=79.0 |
| 01:37 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=97.29 |
| Now, | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=97.29 |
| you only need to import one symbol from the maze_solver package to work with | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=97.57 |
| mazes stored in files. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=101.88 |
| The deserialized object’s attribute values confirm that you successfully | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=104.05 |
| loaded the maze. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=108.03 |
| 01:52 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=112.62 |
| You can also check if you correctly guessed which squares are the entrance and exit | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=112.62 |
| of the miniature maze. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=117.08 |
| So with that in place, | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=124.16 |
| why not go ahead and try loading a more challenging maze from the supporting | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=125.52 |
| materials? | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=129.34 |
| 02:10 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=130.22 |
| For example, | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=130.22 |
| the labyrinth.maze has 896 squares arranged in 32 rows and | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=131.6 |
| 28 columns. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=136.5 |
| You can preview it in your web browser by running the code seen on-screen in the | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=139.87 |
| REPL. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=144.11 |
| 02:27 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=147.81 |
| Make sure that you specify the right path to the file and run the code from a | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=147.81 |
| virtual environment that has the maze_solver package installed. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=151.74 |
| 02:36 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=156.12 |
| This is the maze you should see on-screen. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=156.12 |
| This maze was assembled from satellite and aerial photos of a real world | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=160.97 |
| labyrinth, which can take as long as forty-five minutes to complete on foot. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=164.65 |
| 02:50 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=170.0 |
| Can you find the way out to this maze by looking at it? | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=170.0 |
| While there are no | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=173.076 |
| enemies, the maze is still quite tricky. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=174.12 |
| It would, of course, be better to get Python to solve this maze and indeed any | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=177.6 |
| others you have stored in your binary format. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=182.14 |
| 03:05 | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=185.99 |
| So, in the next section of the course, | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=185.99 |
| you’ll look at how you can do that by implementing graph representation of mazes | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=187.67 |
| and then solving them with NetworkX. | https://realpython.com/lessons/python-maze-class/#t=192.19 |
