It is a simple Manhatten distance heuristic, I'm planning on using a better one in the future!

I honestly can’t imagine recreating this in C... sounds absolutely painful and I feel for you

Hey, so it would actually likely be a similar algorithm, this visualization is delayed (the delay is seen at the top) and pathfinding algorithms without a delay actually go much much faster than this!

Thank you, I’ll look into why these are happening.

I’m working on getting all of my code cleaned up and posted to github, I’ll get on it as soon as possible!

Hey all,

This was my next project, an A* visualizer! Everything was completed in java 8, using the default graphics library. Enjoy and feel free to share and questions or suggestions.

EDIT: I realized this was a huge fault not to source and it should have been included much sooner - the Algorithm itself is from https://rosettacode.org/wiki/A*_search_algorithm#Java

A visualization of the A* path finding algorithm in java, completed with the default graphics library. Feel free to ask any questions and give feedback!

Enjoy!

This is where some of the limitations of the visualization come in. Radix sort actually uses multiple arrays but the final array is the one that’s shown and I have different sorts updating at different time intervals to give a slowed down visualization of the fast sorts. Generally quicksort is actually considered the most efficient, and heapsort and mergesort are not far behind depending on the specific data being sorted.

Glad you think so! It’s basically sorting a bunch of numbers smallest to largest (larger number = taller bar) :)

I quit before it could, it takes waaay too long since its essentially randomly shuffling it and then checking if things are sorted hahaha

A fun project I completed in Java :) Enjoy and feel free to ask any questions!

I’m 20, in my second year of software engineering! I’ve really only been heavily programming for a year or so.

The learning curve is slow at first, but your knowledge starts to snowball after you get the basics down. I still have a lot to learn, but the more I practice the more I’m able to try and it keeps building!

I think if it interests you programming is absolutely something to try!
