A* Visualizer

This project is a super simple and interactive A* grid pathfinding visualizer. This served as a nice refresher on pathfinding, C++, and OpenGL, as well as a good introduction to SDL.

The demo supports a handful of controls including left-clicking to place the agent, right-clicking to place the target, space bar to place walls, M to toggle between 4 and 8 directional movement, and C to clear the screen

If I decide to return to this project in the future, some features that would be interesting to explore:

• Different distance functions
• Path smoothing
• Weighted A*
• Vector field pathing

Tools and Technologies:

• C++
• SDL 2.0
• OpenGL
