Java challenge !! Very hard !! Find mines

Question

Hi !!! I'm new in here !! So, here is the challenge. My teacher passed to the class a challenge that you need to create a game that a robot finds mines in an unknow field. But rules must be follwed. Here's the rules:
1 - The java game must read a .txt file (example.txt) with the informations about the field and the robot must find all mines. But he don't need come back to the origin. He starts to looking in columm 1, line 1.
2 - The matrix (filed) shows 3 separate values:
0 - free position
1- barrier
* - mine
3 - The objetive is to find all mines with less cost (steps). Every time that the robot passes through a 0 position, he pays with one point of penalty, and every time that the robot finds a mine, he wins 10 points.
4 - Every .txt file which is read, at the end, needs generate a new .txt file with the number of steps that the robot did and the total of points. Wins who find all mines with less steps.
example.txt
5 > size of matrix, alaways square (5x5, 3x3, 2x2)
3 > total of mines
0 0 1 0 0 \
1 0 1 * 1 \
* 0 0 0 0 > matrix with informations.
0 1 0 1 * /
1 0 0 1 0 /
Good luck.
PS: The best search algorithm will win.
My group was the only of the class that made this challenge, I would compare to other ideas.
Thx for all java fans !!

Hi !! its not a homework, its a challange, a made after two weeks with my group (4 persons). and i thought interesting sharing because its not a ordinary work. Allright, friday I will take with my friend and post. But please, not imitate when you post yours. I wanna see a idea different. Please, try not to judge before the facts. thxIn case I (and others) have misjudged you, let me explain why people are being so mean. There are a number of posts where people try to get the forum member to do their work for them. Your post looks very much like one of them.
I offered the previous statement because you have not gone crazy and started posting complete nonsense, and it is at least possible that your story is true.
