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.
This project is a collaboration with Grady Hillhouse at the Practical Engineering YouTube channel. This is my attempt to code a simulation of Horizontal Directional Drilling, laparoscopic surgery for the earth!
In this coding challenge, I simulate a "random walk" with vectors in p5.js, varying the distance of each step size. This is known as a "Lévy Flight" (named after french mathematician Paul Lévy.)
