This project is a random maze generator and player navigation game developed using an ESP32 microcontroller and an SSD1306 OLED display. The maze is generated using the Hunt and Kill algorithm, and once generated, the player navigates from one end of the maze to the other using directional buttons.
After successfully reaching the goal, a new maze is automatically generated, creating an endless maze-solving experience.
- Randomly generated mazes on each run
- Maze generation using the Hunt and Kill algorithm
- Player block controlled via push buttons
- Goal-based movement from start to end of the maze
- Automatic regeneration of a new maze upon completion
- Manual reset using ESP32 reset button for fresh maze anytime

The maze is generated using the Hunt and Kill algorithm, which:
- Randomly walks through the maze path
- Hunts for unvisited neighbors
- Backtracks to generate a complete and solvable maze
- Ensures that every cell is connected and reachable
