maze-solver_using_threads_and_forks

A maze solver that reads a maze from a text file, using a walker that finds the target using threads and forks to look in other directions (called process mirroring) with C on Linux. As part of the course of 'Operating systems introduction', TEC (Costa Rica 2021)

execution

You need to compile the program using a C compiler thats works on linux (gcc) and have already installed make (to work with Makefile's)

cd maze-threads-forks/src
make

to create an executable program and that's it
