Micro Mouse Maze Editor and SimulatorRevision 186

Micro Mouse Maze Editor and Simulator is a lightweight Windows application whose purpose is to help you simulate an Al (Artificial Intelligence) algorithm on a maze.

Portable tool

You can take advantage of the program’s portability status and drop it on USB flash drives so you can have it with you all the time.It doesn’t leave entries in your Windows registry, so you can get rid of it using a simple deletion task. Gaining access to its features requires only opening the executable file (there’s no setup included in the process).This is a Java-based tool, so you need to previously deploy the working environment on your computer.

Clean layout

You are welcomed by a multi-tabbed environment that allows you to simulate different algorithms on mazes, work with a maze and Al script editor, as well as check out statistics. The tool reveals the mouse moving through the maze, while the color trails mark the mouse’s path.

Simulation options

Micro Mouse Maze Editor and Simulator gives you the possibility to observe different simulations directly in the main panel via the integrated maze. Each simulation can be customized by choosing between different maze and algorithm types.Plus, you are allowed to show or hide several elements on the maze, namely fog, path, and info. You can opt for a classical display mode, adjust the simulation speed, as well as make use of the built-in controls for starting, stopping or pausing the simulation.Tests have shown that the utility carries out a task quickly and without errors. However, it eats up CPU and memory so the overall performance of the computer may be burdened.

Built-in maze editor

Micro Mouse Maze Editor and Simulator comes packed with several templates that you can apply for editing mazes.You can create a brand-new one from scratch by inserting various predefined elements, adding walls using mouse left-clicks and removing walls with right-clicks, changing an object's orientation, as well as enlarging or shrinking objects. What’s more, you can specify the size of the maze and make the application generate random ones.

Algorithm scripts and statistics

Micro Mouse Maze Editor and Simulator lets you edit Al algorithm scripts in Python using various templates and syntax highlighting options. You can also check out statistics and compare the performance of different mazes and algorithms.

Bottom line

All in all, Micro Mouse Maze Editor and Simulator provides a straightforward solution for helping you analyze Al algorithms, and can be mastered by beginners and professionals alike.
