Using the maze from [[Maze_generation]]. When the path splits each possibility gets its own process that checks if it is the correct one or a dead end. It is intentional that the receive statement in loop_stop/5 only selects successful result.

You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
For a maze generated by this task, write a function that finds (and displays) the shortest path between two cells. Note that because these mazes are generated by the Depth-first search algorithm, they contain no circular paths, and a simple depth-first tree search can be used.
Ada
The maze is read from the standard input. The size of the maze is hardwired into the program (see the constants X_Size and Y_Size).
<lang Ada>with Ada.Text_IO;
procedure Maze_Solver is
X_Size: constant Natural := 45; Y_Size: constant Natural := 17;
subtype X_Range is Natural range 1 .. X_Size; subtype Y_Range is Natural range 1 .. Y_Size;
East: constant X_Range := 2; South: constant Y_Range := 1;
X_Start: constant X_Range := 3; -- start at the upper left Y_Start: constant Y_Range := 1; X_Finish: constant X_Range := X_Size-East; -- go to the lower right Y_Finish: constant Y_Range := Y_Size;
type Maze_Type is array (Y_Range) of String(X_Range);
function Solved(X: X_Range; Y: Y_Range) return Boolean is
begin
return (X = X_Finish) and (Y = Y_Finish);
end Solved;
procedure Output_Maze(M: Maze_Type; Message: String := "") is
begin
if Message /= "" then
Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line(Message);
end if;
for I in M'Range loop
Ada.Text_IO.Put_Line(M(I));
end loop;
end Output_Maze;
procedure Search(M: in out Maze_Type; X: X_Range; Y:Y_Range) is
begin
M(Y)(X) := '*';
if Solved(X, Y) then
Output_Maze(M, "Solution found!");
else
if Integer(Y)-South >= 1 and then M(Y-South)(X) = ' ' then
Search(M, X, Y-South);
end if;
if Integer(Y)+South <= Y_Size and then M(Y+South)(X) = ' ' then
Search(M, X, Y+South);
end if;
if Integer(X)-East >= 1 and then M(Y)(X-East) = ' ' then
Search(M, X-East, Y);
end if;
if Integer(Y)+East <= Y_Size and then M(Y)(X+East) = ' ' then
Search(M, X+East, Y);
end if;
end if;
M(Y)(X) := ' ';
end Search;
Maze: Maze_Type; X: X_Range := X_Start; Y: Y_Range := Y_Start;
begin
for I in 1 .. Y_Size loop
Maze(I) := Ada.Text_IO.Get_Line;
end loop;
Maze(Y_Start)(X_Start) := ' '; -- Start from
Maze(Y_Finish)(X_Finish) := ' '; -- Go_To
Output_Maze(Maze, "The Maze:");
Ada.Text_IO.New_Line;
Search(Maze, X, Y) ; -- Will output *all* Solutions.
-- If there is no output, there is no solution.
end Maze_Solver;</lang>

Icon and Unicon
The following code works with the solution from Maze Generation.
Replace the main with this: <lang Icon>procedure main(A)
/mh := \A[1] | 12 /mw := \A[2] | 16 mz := DisplayMaze(GenerateMaze(mh,mw)) WriteImage(mz.filename) # save file WAttrib(mz.window,"canvas=normal") # show it until Event() == &lpress # wait for left mouse press Solver(mz.maze) DisplayMazeSolution(mz) WriteImage(mz.filename ?:= (="maze-", "maze-solved-" || tab(0))) until Event() == &lpress # wait close(mz.window)
end</lang>
And include this after the Generator and Display procedures. <lang Icon>procedure Solver(r,c) static maze,h,w,rd
if type(r) == "list" then { # ------------------- Top Level (r == maze)
h := *(maze := r) # height

every ((r := 1 | h) & (c := 1 to w)) | # search perimiter
((r := 1 to h) & (c := 1 | w)) do
if iand(maze[r,c],START) > 0 then break # until start found

The following Unicon-only solution is a variant of the above. It shares the same maze generation code and maze display code with the above but spawns threads to parallelize the searching. The algorithm runs each path to a dead end, a target, or a length greater than the current shortest path to a target and works if there are multiple target cells, multiple paths to those targets, or cyclic paths. The shortest solution path is then marked and displayed.

Tcl
This script assumes that the contents of the generation task have already been sourced. Note that the algorithm implemented here does not assume that the maze is free of circuits, and in the case that there are multiple routes, it finds the shortest one because it is a breadth-first search (by virtue of the queue variable being used as a queue).
<lang tcl>oo::define maze {
