**Generating Maze & Pathfinding**

I'm currently focused on implementing the core logic for generating a random maze using the recursive-backtracker algorithm. Simultaneously, I'm laying the groundwork for a solver, aiming to support multiple algorithms like A* and BFS, with the goal of animating their pathfinding process on the canvas.

**Refining Maze Generation & Solving**

I'm now focusing on finalizing the recursive backtracker for maze generation, ensuring its animation is smooth and informative. My next step is to integrate A* pathfinding, with plans to explore alternative heuristics and tie-breaking strategies to demonstrate their impact.

**Evaluating Pathfinding Algorithms**

My current focus is on integrating and comparing various pathfinding algorithms, including BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, and Greedy Best-First. I'm also exploring bidirectional search techniques and planning a "race mode" to visualize their performance side-by-side, complete with interactive speed controls and detailed cost visualizations.
