- The mazes used in this course are all stored as text files with spaces representing empty cells and a symbol such as an asterisk representing an obstacle or wall. Now, if we go to our course files and we look in the folder called mazes, we've got several mazes here that you can experiment with. So let's take one for an example, there's one called modest maze dot text. So you can see, we have some asterisks and then spaces are representing empty cells. Sometimes it's quite helpful to actually go into settings at this point in pie charm and go to editor, general appearance and then show white spaces. And then you can see these tiny little dots representing the spaces. It gives you a clearer idea of how it's constructed. There's also some end of line characters that are not shown and in our code, we'll strip those. And I'll talk about those in a moment. So let's just change that setting back. So that's what our mazes look like. Here's a few different ones. There's one that we're going…
