# A* in Clojure



  



[A\* algorithm][a-star] implementation in [Clojure][]. Rendering is performed with [Quil][].

Built during [West London Hack Night][wlhn] on 23rd of November, 2017. Emphasis on _hack_, some parts of the code aren't very elegant.

## Usage

Once you have [leiningen][] installed, you may simply execute `lein run` in your terminal.

If you have an editor set up that allows you to interactively work with Clojure (like Emacs+CIDER, Vim+fireplace or [Cursive][]), you may simply open `src/wlhn_a_star/core.clj` and execute the code in your REPL.

Evaluating the body of `-main` will start the Quil rendering. In Emacs I use `C-c C-k` to evaluate the entire buffer which will then be re-rendered by Quil.

In [Spacemacs][] (I highly recommend this if you're getting into Clojure, the other "batteries included" solution would be [Cursive][]) you can also use bindings such as `,ee` to evaluate the previous form and observe the effects in the render window.
