Optimal Path Finding with A*

Watch BFS, Dijkstra and A* search a grid step by step

1-2 weeks build

Overview

An interactive visualiser where you draw walls and weighted cells on a grid, place a start and a goal, and watch BFS, DFS, Dijkstra and A* explore in real time. Each run reports path cost, nodes expanded and time taken, so the algorithms can be compared on the same map. A maze generator and several A* heuristics make the differences easy to see.

What makes it stand up

  • 01BFS, DFS, Dijkstra, greedy best-first and A* in one tool
  • 02Draw walls and weighted terrain with the mouse
  • 03Manhattan, Euclidean and diagonal heuristics for A*
  • 04Recursive-division maze generator
  • 05Side-by-side stats for path cost and nodes expanded

Module breakdown

  1. 01

    Grid editor

    Mouse-driven walls, weights, start and goal.

  2. 02

    Algorithms

    Shared interface for every search strategy.

  3. 03

    Heuristics

    Pluggable distance functions for A* and greedy search.

  4. 04

    Visualisation

    Animated frontier, visited set and final path.

  5. 05

    Comparison

    Benchmark table and charts across generated mazes.

After this, you will be able to

  • Explain why an admissible heuristic keeps A* optimal
  • Compare Dijkstra and A* on the same maze in a demo
  • Defend the time and space complexity of each algorithm
