A* Shortest Path Algorithm Visually Explained
In this video, we’re going to talk about one of the most classic and practical shortest path algorithms — the A star algorithm. It’s used in all kinds of scenarios, from NPC pathfinding in video games, to robot navigation, and even in the map apps you use every day, like Google Maps or Apple Maps. By the end of this video, you’ll have a solid understanding of how A star works, how it compares to Dijkstra’s algorithm, and how to implement it in Python.
