Pathfinder is a free, demonstrative Javascript program that finds paths in generated mazes using the A-Star pathfinding algorithm.
This is currently a work in progress.
Use npm run build
to create the dist folder and pull in dependencies.
Run npm run dev
to start the development server. The app will be available at http://localhost:8080.
Here are some links I found especially useful when learning about pathfinding and the A* algorithm:

- Amit's A* Pages http://www-cs-students.stanford.edu/~amitp/gameprog.html#Paths
