Floodfill algorithm in Python
SMRTR summary
The floodfill algorithm spreads color from a starting point within a defined region, like a paint bucket tool. This Python tutorial demonstrates it through an interactive Python logo where clicking areas fills connected regions with random colors - eyes fill quickly, snake bodies spread throughout the shape, and background areas navigate around obstacles. The algorithm maintains a queue of pixels to process, checks neighboring pixels, and adds valid unpainted areas while avoiding boundaries.
