# A-Pathfinding-Demo

Demonstration of Pathfinding through a randomly generated maze

Check it out here at: https://shahank42.github.io/A-Pathfinding-Demo

# Parameters

![Params](https://github.com/shahank42/A-Pathfinding-Demo/blob/main/params.jpg?raw=true)

The `sketch.js` file contains the above parameters which can be modified for different results on the simulation. 

# Implementation Details

I found this project buried in my archives from way back in 2019, when I didn't know how to use GitHub. So what better opportunity to upload and host it on the web than now?!

# Resources Used

* Videos of Dan Shiffman from ![The Coding Train](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvjgXvBlbQiydffZU7m1_aw) on this topic (Parts ![1](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKYlikFAV4k) and ![2](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaZxUCWAjb0) and ![3](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jwRT4PCT6RU)). Super duper helpful in understanding what was going on, how the algorithm worked and how to structure the project.
