Featured Challenge: #51 — A* Pathfinding Algorithm
In this multi-part coding challenge, I attempt an implementation of the A* Pathfinding Algorithm to find the optimal path between two points in a 2D grid.
In this coding challenge, I follow up on the Earthquake Data Visualization challenge and create a 3D version in Processing(Java) using spherical coordinates. I also discuss some 3D vector math including the cross product.
In this coding challenge, I visualize earthquake data from the USGS by mapping the latitude, longitude and the magnitude of earthquakes with p5.js. The map imagery is pulled from mapbox and the math demonstrated converts latitude, longitude to x,y via Web Mercator.
