Pathfinding Comparator

A*, Dijkstra and friends, visible step by step.

What is this?

A visual pathfinding lab for comparing how algorithms search. The same grid, walls and endpoints reveal different exploration strategies.

How it works

Algorithms expand nodes according to their rules: cost so far, heuristic distance or queue order. Watching the frontier makes the tradeoff between optimality and speed tangible.
