Monster Maze
The goal of the monster maze project was to use matrices to create a maze where the user can specify a number of monsters then they must reach the exit without hitting a monster. In order to help the user, the number of monster surrounding the cell was printed to the screen when they got close to the cell. This project took us about a week to complete individually. Also, I was able to complete this project in class. Two of the skills require to complete this project were matrices and organization. I needed to know how to use matrices because this was the first project where we applied our newfound knowledge of matrices. The rows and columns of the maze were based on a matrix and we even need multiple matrixes to keep track of monsters, the number of monsters surrounding the cell, etc. I needed to be able to organize my code because multiple matrices could get confusing and I would not want to confuse the matrices and create an error. Overall, I feel this project helped me apply what I had just learned about matrices in a complex way. In my future, I will learn new concepts and quickly have to apply them as I did in this project. Also, matrices are an important aspect of programming I may need to know in my future.
