Well, actually, when I asked, I didn't have anything done, quite honestly. I was having trouble visualizing how it would be done, but I think I have it figured out now. The way I plan on doing it is as follows:

I will set the starting position as the mouse as 1. Walls will be -1, and dots will be 0. For every spot there is a 0 next to the 1, it will be marked a 2. Every 2 that has a 0 next to it will get a 3 marked in that spot, and so on until I find the cheese. Once the cheese is found, I will just count backwards, and get all the pluses in, thereby showing the route to the cheese. Here's a visual representation of what I plan to do.
