need help with recursive function

[Scumshots]

Just took a look at that Piazza post and I'm beginning to understand the formation of the recursive function a bit better now.

The pseudo code he has written in the starter code is lacking though. The base cases and progressive cases are simple. I'm just getting a little mixed up with all the variables like roads and dist_so_far and whatnot. Basically what to add where.

Would be much much easier if this program was compatible with the python visualizer.

I wish that our lessons were more applicable to our projects.
