What will you learn?
Use Python and Tkinter to build a GUI that solves mazes. You'll be writing code that draws a randomized maze and then systematically solves it. You will use your knowledge of algorithms to automate this fun game! This is a fantastic way to build another real project and solidify your algorithmic skills.

A good lead through the, cough, maze of coding a maze. Very enjoyable.

This course exceeded my expectations! The lessons are clear, concise, and structured in a way that makes complex topics approachable. Each assignment reinforces the concepts with hands-on practice, and the instructor provides insightful explanations that deepen understanding. Highly recommended for anyone serious about mastering the material.

it's a kinda interesting course, especially if you've done DSA2, but the language in the assignments could use some clarifications, and this is very much a "you get what you put into it" course. The checks are practically non-existent. You just click "I completed this step" most of the way through
