Visualizing Pathfinding Algorithms

Ғылым және технология

In this video I code a visualization of a couple of different pathfinding algorithms.

    You should have written which is which. Btw a lot of other algorithms exist: like there are various speedups for A* for grid-like spaces like this that are more efficient and there are hierarchical pathfinding algorithms that basically create bigger grids and pre-calculate which connects with which (info needed only at boundary) and then you can do a higher level search on the bigger grid and then a low-level search for the inside of the grid. This ensures scalability much better. A further speedup to the original A* is to "look ahead" so instead of just using the hint values for the cell to visit - we look ahead and its hint becomes hint values of that + all its neighbors that are k distant from it. This ensures much better heuristic hints at the cost of more operations - but can lead to better results. One can also pair this up with data structures that hold the grid not the usual 2D array ways, but as a hierarchy where close-by elements are more often cache local to each (this is especially powerful if you can make the grid 0s and 1s.

    I know this is one year late. But the breath first algorithm has 1 upside that the A* cant really compete in. And that is when you have multiple targets, or if you don't know where the targets are on the grid. The second one is fairly simple because the A* requires target locations to work optimally. The first one is not so simple, with a finite set of targets you could optimize it to work, but if the size gets to big even a optimized priority queue that is designed to handle multiple targets you simply lose in complexity gained because you have to iteratively check against all targets, while the breath first simply can simply check on a set if it is contained. It's basically List.indexOf vs Set.contains problem. And pathfinding usually contains multiple targets at once.

    A* copes wih that just fine. But, like any algorithm that explores the best-looking regions first, it'll have to do a lot of backtracking if the things that look good turn out not to be good. And there's plenty of backtracking shown in the video. In the example that starts at 8:24, you can see that the algorithm starts by heading broadly in the right direction, but it gets stuck in a bit of a dead-end at about 8:30. It then spends quite a while investigating minor deviations closer to the source, before finally breaking through.

    it tooks the closest tile to targetTile as first tile to move, so if target in x+ direction it goes x+ (Fcost is lower in that direction, it's greedy to get target faster as it can inspite of correct shortest way), It doesn't take other direction until it reaches dead end in first direction, and other tiles get additional cost if not selected, so it's hard to back to previous tiles. The best con of this is speed of calculations (it even needn't closed list to use algorithm, I guess)
