    Irony...

    Start with this:

    int main()
    {

    ...

    return 0;
    }










    Just joking... Sorry, I don't know anything about stacks

    What's the stack got to do with it??? If you want to write a program that gets you out of a maze, then you'll need a tree structure. For that I gave an example further down (it was about 1-3 trees). Once you've programmed your Tree/Node classes you use your tree to explore each path in the maze. If you do a width first search you'll find the shortest way out!!! This is done qute easely. You represent the maze by an integer matrix. You say 1 is a wall and 2 is where you've already been. You have four options (ie each node will have maximum 4 direct kids) up,down,left and right. A branch ends when either it its a wall (1) or it hits your path (2). You're out when the current position in a Node is equal to the exit.
    All AI books treat this example. Come back if you need more help.
