Inspiration
There was a really well done video by a youtuber I like watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-L-WgKMFuhE
What it does
This project implements the AStar pathfinding algorithm to find the shortest path in a randomly generated maze. This is all rendered on a website for a user to see and interact with.
How we built it
We built it using react and type script. When implementing the algorithm, we followed documentation on the internet.
Challenges we ran into
A lot of the challenges along the project were due to our inexperience with a project of this scale. We were a team of unexperienced hackers who encountered a lot of problems through the 24 hour period.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
One of the best feelings during the hackathon was finally getting the AStar algorithm to work. The implementation of the algorithm was fairly straight forward but during the implementation some hard to find bugs were introduced. After a lot of troubleshooting and head scratching, we finally ironed out all the bugs and got the code to work.
