Perhaps not, but why not just start with a basic map and see what you can 
come up with code-wise?  You can probably use Haskell for this and just use 
text output if you can't do graphics.  Start with a simple 2D map with 
obstacles and a "target", then you can gradually make it more complex and 
see how you get on.  Could be quite a fun little project with loads of 
possiblities for expansion.
