The session aimed to implement and debug various pathfinding algorithms, focusing on depth-first search (DFS) and handling errors in the code.

Reviewed a practical work summary on algorithmic techniques, covering four exercises with specific problems.
Developed conceptual solutions for programming exercises, focusing on search techniques, optimization, and balance adjustments.
Implemented a DFS approach for the ‘Sendero’ problem, defining piece behaviors and movements.
Encountered and addressed an error in the environment, continuing with implementation and testing.
Corrected import statements in Python to fix an oversight with the typing module.
Fixed a path length calculation error on a board, aiming to correct the function to consider minimum and maximum path lengths.
Adjusted the DFS function to account for all possible piece rotations to find the shortest and longest paths.
Provided a visual representation of the DFS solution for a puzzle, including complete Python code for implementation.

Successfully implemented and debugged the DFS algorithm for pathfinding, ensuring it handles piece rotations and path lengths correctly.
Provided visual representations of the solutions to enhance understanding and debugging.

Further testing and optimization of the pathfinding algorithms to ensure robustness and efficiency.
Explore additional pathfinding techniques for potential improvements.
