Thread: Maze Game

First post in the forum and i am a beginner as far as programming is concerned. The task is to read in a text file that has the size of the maze in the first line then maze follows. The out put im looking for is true that i did escape the maze but i am only seeing false or out of ArrayOutOfBoundsError when i am positive it is still inbound.
Any feedback is very much appreciated.

public class Maze
{
   // public static char map[][];
    public Maze(int row, int col, char map[][])
    {
        Main.row = row;
        Main.col = col;
        Main.map = map;
 
        System.out.println(map[row][col]);
 
    }
 
public boolean excape(int row, int col)
{
   boolean exit = false;
 
   if(isValid(row, col))
   {
      Main.map[row][col] = Main.WALL;
 
      if (row == Main.map.length-1 && col == Main.map[0].length-1)
         exit = true; //the maze is solved
      else
      {
         exit = excape(row+1, col); //down
         if (!exit)
            exit = excape(row, col+1); //right
         if (!exit)
            exit = excape(row-1, col); //up
         if (!exit)
            exit = excape(row, col-1); //left         
      }
 
   }
   return exit;
 }
 
    public boolean isValid(int row, int col)
    {
        if(row <9 || col< 9 )
        {
 
        }
          return true;
    }
