Astar

Pathfinding library using the astar algorithm, supports manhhaten and euclidean distance heuristics.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem'astar'

And then execute:

bundle

Or install it yourself as:

geminstallastar

Usage

Make sure you have an object that responds to methods x,y and walkable_neighbours

classTileattr_reader:x,:y#returns the surrounding tiles that are walkabledefwalkable_neighboursendend

Pass in your to and from tiles including the heuristic

Astar::FindPath.from(tile1).to(tile,Astar::ManhattenDistance)Astar::FindPath.from(tile1).to(tile,Astar::EuclideanDistance)

The specs also have an example of how to use the lib.
