About the Project

This API is meant to implement several pathfinding algorithms and highlight pros and cons of each of them. Whether it's computation time or shortest path, each have flaws and strengths that I wished to display with graphs. For that I encapsulated several features to make the program easy to handle.

Here is a comparison of paths' length for each implemented algorithms. ( 0 means no path was found ). It also shows stability and displays a certain trust factors for some that others may not have.

This is the computation time comparison, showing that a fast computation time can hurt the path, but not necessarily. Some may have longer computation time AND longer paths. But some algorithms may not be implemented due to environment issue or lack of knowledge about the environment. For example, you can add several walls to the environment and see many of the algorithms fail while others might be more robust.

Setup

1. (Optional) Click on Fork
2. Clone the project on your local machine : git clone https://github.com/master-coro/artin-pathfinding.git
3. Install dependencies : pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Run

As of now the program stores Data from several pathfinding solutions on different environments generated with the same conditions. It runs on a 70x20 matrix with 20% of available space covered by obstacles. Those obstacles change at each generated environments.

1. Run python3 src/main.py
2. Enjoy the data plots
