It provides visualizations to compare the paths taken by three popular algorithms: A*, Greedy Best-First, and Hill Climbing. The project also includes performance metrics, such as nodes explored, memory usage, and execution time, allowing users to easily analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each algorithm.\r\n\r\n## About\r\n\r\nPathfinding is a key problem in artificial intelligence and robotics. It involves finding the most efficient route from a starting point to a goal point while avoiding obstacles. This project visualizes the paths taken by three widely used pathfinding algorithms:\r\n\r\n- **A\\***: A search algorithm that finds the shortest path by considering both the cost to reach a node and the estimated cost to the goal.\r\n- **Greedy Best-First**: A search algorithm that uses a heuristic to estimate the best path to the goal but does not consider the cost to reach the current node.\r\n- **Hill Climbing**: A local search algorithm that iteratively moves toward the goal by selecting the best neighbor (next step) based on a heuristic, though it can get stuck in local minima.\r\n\r\nThis project visualizes the grid, compares the paths taken by each algorithm, and provides performance metrics for better understanding.\r\n\r\n## Features\r\n\r\n- **Path Visualization**: Visualizes the grid and the paths taken by each algorithm.\r\n- **Performance Metrics**: Compares the number of nodes explored and memory usage for each algorithm.\r\n- **Execution Time**: Compares the time taken by each algorithm to find a path.\r\n- **Interactive**: Easy-to-understand and interactive visualizations using `matplotlib`.\r\n\r\n## Getting Started\r\n\r\nTo get started with this project, you'll need to have Python and the necessary libraries installed. Follow the steps below to run the project locally.\r\n\r\n### Prerequisites\r\n\r\n- Python 3.x\r\n- pip (Python package installer)\r\n\r\n### Installing Dependencies\r\n\r\nYou can install the required libraries using `pip`:\r\n\r\n```bash\r\npip install matplotlib numpy\r\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falfiyafatima09%2Fheuristic_algorithms","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Falfiyafatima09%2Fheuristic_algorithms","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Falfiyafatima09%2Fheuristic_algorithms/lists"}
