$/*$ this method and the moveDog method are probably the longest methods.

$*$ This method first puts dummy values in every square $($I used $\text{'}+\text{'}-$ I just didn't want

$*$ every square to have gibberish, so I chose a character I wasn't using for any other

$*$ purpose and initialized every square to have that value$).$

$*$ I then added my random horizontal and vertical walls.

$*$

$*$ Here's how I did it the walls:

$*$

$*$ I only placed walls in the odd numbered rows and columns $($in other words, row one might

$*$ have a row, but then row $2$ would not, whereas row three could and row $4$ could not.

$*$ Same with columns $($although you can have flexibility.

$*$

$*$ I picked an odd row or column that did not already have a wall in it at all.

$*$

$*$ I generated a total of $10$ walls.

$*$ For each wall, I picked randomly for vertical or horizontal $($just rand$()\%2$ to get either

$*0$ for vertical, $1$ for horizontal.

$*$

$*$ I set the easy version to have at most $9$ squares in a row or column as a wall, the

$*$ medium to have at most $13$ squares as walls in a row or column, and the hard version to

$*$ have at most $16$ squares per row or column.$($but you can play with this because sometimes

$*$ the hard version was seriously hard!!!

$*$

$*$ Let's say I randomly decided to place a wall in row $3.$ I then randomly chose $9$ squares in

$*$ row $3$ to be a wall $($if it was the easy version, $13$ if it was the medium, and $16$ if it was

$*$ the hard$)$

$*$

$*$ So that's the walls. Then I added the $\text{'}$D$\text{'}$ to the beginning square nad an $\text{'}$E$\text{'}$ to the end square.
