Fringe Search vs A* algorithm in AI

I hadn't explored the fringe search algorithm until seeing this post, so take this with a grain of salt. According to Wikipedia, Fringe Search is based off IDA*, which in turn is based off A*. pros/cons of IDA* over A*: IDA* was designed to decrease memory use at the cost...
Algorithm: path finding with variable path width
I agree with Calumn: DFS is the simplest approach here. Here is a simple solution in python-like pseudocode. It will print the solution as a sequence of 'L','R',U','D' to indicate left,right,up, or down. def flood(x,y,story): if (visited[x][y] or map[x][y]=='0'): return; visited[x][y]=True; if (map[x][y]=='3'): print 'done. The path is: '+story return...

Compare value of std::shared_ptr in STL Heap and std::find. (Trying to implement A*)

The second form of std::push_heap takes custom comparator as the third parameter, so you can give it the < overload: struct SPtrNodeLess { bool operator()(const std::shared_ptr<Node> &first, const std::shared_ptr<Node> &second) const { return *first < *second; } } std::push_heap(h.begin(), h.end(), SPtrNodeLess()) The std::find_if takes the unary predicate in similar fashion:...

Lets say there are at average 2.5 directions to choose from, then your algorithm will take 2.5^n steps to complete, where n is the number of squares. That will be an incredible large number, even for fairly small n. You need to look into Djikstra's algorithm This is assuming you...

C# A* Algorithm StackOverflowException

A* does not have a recursive step. You should be pulling work items out of a priority queue. Your code is tail recursive. There is no need for recursion here. Just wrap the entire method in a while (true) loop: private void aStar(int x, int y) { while (true) {...

pathfinding: multiple paths to a destination, with edge removal

PHP: Determining Grid Count Between 2 Grids
The number of diagonal moves you can make is limited to the number of either rows or columns you have to traverse to get to your destination. All other moves can be left/right or up/down and will preserve the shortest distance. That said, and assuming you know the row and...
PathFinding algorithm within this implementation of a grid
