PathfindingWeb (Pathfinding Algorithm Visualizer)

A visualizer for pathfinding algorithms! This repository contains two versions of the visualizer:

1. Web Version: A modern, interactive web-based visualizer built with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.
2. Python Version: The original version built with Python and Pygame.

🌐 Web Version

The new Web Version provides a sleek, responsive, and interactive experience directly in your browser.

Features

• Visualization of various pathfinding algorithms
• Interactive grid: draw walls, move start/end nodes
• Control over animation speed
• Clean, responsive design

Usage

Simply open the hosted GitHub Pages link, or clone the repository and open index.html in your favorite web browser!

🐍 Python Version (Legacy)

The original Python version provides a visual implementation of A* and Dijkstra's algorithms using Pygame on a 50x50 grid. You can find the source code in the PythonVersion/ directory.

Installation

To run this script, you'll need Python and Pygame. You can install Pygame via pip:

pip install pygame

Usage

Navigate to the PythonVersion folder and run the script:

cd PythonVersion
python PathfindingVisualizer.py

Controls

• Left Mouse Click: Set the start point, end point, and draw obstacles.
• Right Mouse Click: Remove nodes or obstacles.
• Spacebar: Start the algorithm.
• C: Clear the grid.
• A: A* Pathfinding Algorithm
• B: Dijkstras Pathfinding Algorithm
