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:

gem install astar

Usage

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

class Tile
  attr_reader :x, :y

  #returns the surrounding tiles that are walkable
  def walkable_neighbours
  end
end

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.
