COMP9021 Principles of Programming
Term 2, 2024
Assignment 2
Worth 13marks and due Week 11 Monday @ 10am
1. General Matters
1.1 Aim
The purpose of this assignment is to:
• Develop your problem-solving skills.
• Design and implement the solution to a problem in the form of a medium sized Python program.
• Analyse the various features of a labyrinth, represented by a particular coding of its basic elements
into numbers, from the set {0, 1, 2, 3} only, stored in a text file.
• Check that the input text file is correct and represents a labyrinth.
• Output the labyrinth features nicely.
• Use object-oriented programming.
1.2 Marking
This assignment is worth 13 marks distributed as follows:
2
Your program will be tested against several inputs. For each test, the auto-marking script will let your
program run for 30 seconds. The outputs of your program should be exactly as indicated.
1.3 Due Date and Submission
Your programs will be stored in a file named labyrinth.py. The assignment can be submitted more than
once. The last version just before the due date and time will be marked (unless you submit late in which
case the last late version will be marked).
Assignment 2 is due Week 11 Monday 5 August 2024 @ 10:00am (Sydney time).
Please note that late submission with 5% penalty per day is allowed up to 5 days from the due date, that
is, any late submission after Week 11 Saturday 10 August 2024 @ 10:00am will be discarded.
Please make sure not to change the filename labyrinth.py while submitting by clicking on [Mark] button in
Ed. It is your responsibility to check that your submission did go through properly using Submissions link in
Ed otherwise your mark will be zero for Assignment 2.
1.4 Reminder on Plagiarism Policy
You are permitted, indeed encouraged, to discuss ways to solve the assignment with other people. Such
discussions must be in terms of algorithms, not code. But you must implement the solution on your own.
Submissions are scanned for similarities that occur when students copy and modify other people’s work or
work very closely together on a single implementation. Severe penalties apply.
2. Description
The representation of the labyrinth is based on a coding with only the four digits 0, 1, 2 and 3 such that:
• 0 codes points that are connected to neither their right nor their below neighbours:
• 1 codes points that are connected to their right neighbours but not to their below ones:
• 2 codes points that are connected to their below neighbours but not to their right ones:
• 3 codes points that are connected to both their right and below neighbours:
A point that is connected to none of their left, right, above, and below neighbours represents a pillar:
Analysing the labyrinth will also allow to represent:
• cul-de-sac:
• entry-exit path:

4. Detailed Description
4.1 Input
The input is expected to consist of ydim lines of xdim members of {0, 1, 2, 3}, where x dim and ydim are at least
equal to 2 and at most equal to 31 and 41, respectively, with possibly lines consisting of spaces only that
will be ignored and with possibly spaces anywhere on the lines with digits.
The xth digit n of the yth line, with 0 ≤ x < xdim and 0 ≤ y < ydim, is to be:
• associated with a point situated x * 0.5 cm to the right and y * 0.5 cm below an origin,
• connected to the point 0.5 cm to its right if n = 1 or n = 3, and
• connected to the point 0.5 cm below itself if n = 2 or n = 3.
The last digit on every line with digits (that is, not on blank lines) cannot be equal to 1 or 3, and the digits
on the last line with digits cannot be equal to 2 or 3, which ensures that the input encodes a labyrinth,
that is, a grid of width (xdim - 1) * 0.5 cm and of height (ydim - 1) * 0.5 cm (hence of maximum width 15 cm
and of maximum height 20 cm), with possibly gaps on the sides and inside.
A point not connected to any of its neighbours is thought of as a pillar and a point connected to at least
one of its neighbours is thought of as part of a wall.
We talk about inner point to refer to a point that lies (x + 0.5) * 0.5 cm to the right of and (y + 0.5) * 0.5
cm below the origin with 0 ≤ x < xdim - 1 and 0 ≤ y < ydim - 1.
Practically, the input will be stored in a text file as shown in the six examples above. The program will exit
immediately if the input is not as expected.
4.2 Output
Consider executing from the Python prompt the statement from labyrinth import * followed by the
statement lab = Labyrinth(filename). In case filename does not exist in the working directory, then Python
will raise a FileNotFoundError exception, that does not need to be caught. Assume that filename does
exist (in the working directory). If the input is incorrect in that it does not contain only digits in {0, 1, 2, 3}
besides spaces, or in that it contains either too few or too many nonblank lines, or in that some nonblank
lines contain too many or too few digits, or in that two of its nonblank lines do not contain the same
number of digits, then the effect of executing lab = Labyrinth(filename) should be to generate a
LabyrinthError exception that reads:
12
If the previous conditions hold but the further conditions spelled out above for the input to qualify as a
labyrinth (that is, the condition on the last digit on every line with digits and the condition on the digits on
the last line) do not hold, then the effect of executing lab = Labyrinth(filename) should be to generate a
LabyrinthError exception that reads:
If the input is correct and represents a labyrinth, then lab = Labyrinth(filename) followed by
lab.display_features() should have the effect of outputting the following:
1. the number of gates, that is, the number of consecutive points on one of the four sides of the
labyrinth that are not connected,
2. the number of sets of connected walls,
3. the number of inner points that cannot be accessed from any gate, starting from the point in the
middle of a gate and going from inner points to neighbouring inner points,
4. the number of maximal areas that can be accessed from at least one gate (the number of
accessible inner points is at most equal to the number of gates),
5. the number of accessible cul-de-sacs (a cul-de-sac is a maximal set S of connected inner points that
can all be accessed from the same gate g and such that for all points p in S, if p has been accessed
from g for the first time, then either p is in a dead end or moving on without ever getting back
leads into a dead end), and
6. the number of entry-exit paths with no intersections not to cul-de-sacs consisting of a maximal set
S of connected inner points that go from a gate to another (necessarily different) gate and such that
for all points p in S, there is only one way to move on from p without getting back and without
entering a cul-de-sac, in other words, the resulting path is choice-free, that is, such that leaving the
path, at any inner point where that is possible, immediately leads into a cul-de-sac.
The above should be displayed exactly as described below.
A first line that reads one of:
The labyrinth has no gate.
The labyrinth has a single gate.
The labyrinth has N gates.
with N an appropriate integer at least equal to 2.
13
A second line that reads one of:
The labyrinth has no wall.
The labyrinth has walls that are all connected.
The labyrinth has N sets of walls that are all connected.
with N an appropriate integer at least equal to 2.
A third line that reads one of:
The labyrinth has no inaccessible inner point.
The labyrinth has a unique inaccessible inner point.
The labyrinth has N inaccessible inner points.
with N an appropriate integer at least equal to 2.
A fourth line that reads one of:
The labyrinth has no accessible area.
The labyrinth has a unique accessible area.
The labyrinth has N accessible areas.
with N an appropriate integer at least equal to 2.
A fifth line that reads one of:
The labyrinth has no accessible cul-de-sac.
The labyrinth has accessible cul-de-sacs that are all connected.
The labyrinth has N sets of accessible cul-de-sacs that are all connected.
with N an appropriate integer at least equal to 2.
A sixth line that reads one of:
The labyrinth has no entry-exit path with no intersection not to cul-de-sacs.
The labyrinth has a unique entry-exit path with no intersection not to cul-de-sacs.
The labyrinth has N entry-exit paths with no intersections not to cul-de-sacs.
with N an appropriate integer at least equal to 2.
