About Pathfinder AI

Pathfinder AI presents a unique meta-puzzle: rather than solving the puzzle yourself, you must program an AI agent using a limited set of movement commands that will navigate a maze independently. Each solution is not a player movement but an algorithm — a sequence of instructions that produces correct behavior across different maze configurations. This distinction makes Pathfinder AI one of the most authentic introductions to computational thinking available in a casual game, exposing the core challenge of all programming: creating general instructions that handle specific cases correctly without knowing all the specific cases in advance.
